Saturday Morning Physics | The Physics of Active Matter
Suraj Shankar, Assistant Professor (U-M Physics)
Birds flock. Bees swarm. Fish school. These natural collective behaviors emerge in a new kind of matter - active matter - made not of atoms and molecules but of entities that consume energy to generate their own motion and forces. I will discuss how advances in the exciting field of active matter are helping us understand grand challenges in biology, and begin to answer an age-old question: What makes matter come to life?
