Excitable Nonreciprocal Living Solids
Offered By: Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of active matter in this 46-minute conference talk by Nikta Fakhri from MIT, delivered at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into the concept of excitable nonreciprocal living solids as part of "The Many Faces of Active Mechanics" conference. Discover how energy-consuming components interact to create collective phenomena in active fluids and solids. Learn about recent developments in the study of active solids, including elastically coupled networks that enable actuation and shape changes beyond equilibrium states. Gain insights into the connections between various disciplines such as hydrodynamic and elastic theories of active matter, living matter, and materials far from equilibrium. Understand the relevance of active matter paradigms to diverse systems, from living organisms and cell assemblies to synthetically engineered materials.
