Microfluidic Island Biogeography
Offered By: Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a conference talk on Microfluidic Island Biogeography presented by Oskar Hallatschek from the University of California, Berkeley. Delve into the fascinating world of active matter and its applications in various fields during this 45-minute presentation, which was part of The Many Faces of Active Mechanics conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Discover how energy-consuming components interact to create collective phenomena in active fluids, from spontaneous flow to flocking. Learn about the emerging field of active solids and their potential for actuation and shape changes not possible in equilibrium systems. Gain insights into the interdisciplinary nature of this research, connecting hydrodynamic and elastic theories of active matter with living matter, classical and quantum materials far from equilibrium, and animate matter. Understand the broader implications of this work for fields ranging from active hydrogels to metamaterials and mechanical structures composed of linked robotic components.
