Explore the fascinating world of active gels in this 36-minute conference talk by Thomas Powers from Brown University. Delve into the complex dynamics of flow in active gel systems as part of the "The Many Faces of Active Mechanics" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Gain insights into the collective phenomena emerging from energy-consuming components interacting with their environment, and discover how active matter principles apply to diverse systems ranging from living organisms to synthetically engineered materials. Examine the latest developments in active solids research, including elastically coupled networks and their potential for actuation and shape changes beyond equilibrium states. Connect with interdisciplinary perspectives spanning hydrodynamic and elastic theories, living matter, materials far from equilibrium, and animate matter to uncover overarching principles and identify future research directions in this cutting-edge field.
