temperatures or chemical potentials. Examples are sliding carbon nanotubes, evaporating nanoclusters, fluids in nanohydrodynamics, mesoscopic conductors, and biological molecular motors. Re- markable relations have been recently discovered in the properties of their fluctuating paths or histories during some time interval. These advances give a new understanding to the sec- ond law of thermodynamics in terms of the time asymmetry in the dynamical randomness of these paths or histories.
