Integer Topological Defects: A New Way to Characterize and Classify Cell Layers
Offered By: Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a 44-minute conference talk on integer topological defects as a novel approach to characterizing and classifying cell layers. Delivered by Masaki Sano from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation is part of "The Many Faces of Active Mechanics" conference. Delve into the fascinating world of active matter, examining collective phenomena emerging from energy-consuming components interacting with their environment. Discover how this paradigm applies to diverse systems, from living organisms and cell assemblies to synthetically engineered materials. Gain insights into the cutting-edge study of active solids and their potential for actuation and shape changes beyond equilibrium possibilities. Connect with interdisciplinary perspectives spanning hydrodynamic and elastic theories, living matter, materials far from equilibrium, and animate matter to uncover overarching principles and identify areas for future breakthroughs in the field.
