Stochastic and Macroscopic Thermodynamics of Strongly Coupled Systems

Thermodynamics describes how macroscopic systems exchange energy in the form of heat and work, yet many microscopic systems such as molecular motors exhibit behavior that seems to follow the same principles. A new theoretical framework for describing the thermodynamics of microscopic systems that interact strongly with their surroundings is presented.
