Title | Cytoplasmic Streaming and Collective Behavior in Microswimmer Suspensions |
Abstract | The field of "active matter" focuses on the collective behaviour of large numbers of individual units (molecular motors, cells, organisms) which inject energy into a fluid at the small scales, creating large-scale nonequilibrium patterns. In this talk I will link together two historically important examples of active matter - concentrated suspensions of bacteria and cytoplasmic streaming in plant and animal cells - to illustrate recent experimental and theoretical developments in the area of self-organization. |
