Vignettes of Data-Driven Approaches to the MT-Kinesin Active Fluid
Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Overview
Explore a 55-minute conference talk on data-driven approaches to the MT-Kinesin active fluid, presented by Aparna Baskaran from Brandeis University. Recorded as part of "The Many Faces of Active Mechanics" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation delves into the fascinating world of active matter and its applications. Gain insights into collective phenomena emerging from energy-consuming components, including spontaneous flow, flocking, and condensation without attractive interactions. Discover how the active matter paradigm applies to diverse systems, from living organisms and cell assemblies to synthetically engineered materials. Learn about the latest developments in active solids research, exploring 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, classical and quantum materials far from equilibrium, and animate matter.
