Nonequilibrium Physics in Living Systems

Explore the fascinating intersection of physics and biology in this hour-long lecture on nonequilibrium physics in living systems. Delve into the complex dynamics that govern biological processes, examining how living organisms operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Discover the principles that allow life to maintain order and function in the face of entropy, and learn about the cutting-edge research being conducted in this interdisciplinary field. Gain insights into how nonequilibrium physics can help explain phenomena such as cellular organization, molecular motors, and the emergence of life itself. Engage with concepts that challenge traditional views of thermodynamics and open new avenues for understanding the fundamental nature of living systems.
