A model of coupled molecular biochemical oscillators is proposed to study nonequilibrium thermodynamics of synchronization. We find that synchronization of nonequilibrium oscillators costs addition energy to drive the exchange reaction (chemical interaction) between individual oscillators. By solving the steady state of the many-body system analytically, we show that the system goes through a nonequilibrium phase transition driven by energy dissipation, and the critical energy dissipation depend ...[more]
