This 13-minute conference talk by Swarnaditya Hazra from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences explores the probabilistic plugging of airways by sliding mucus films. The presentation is part of the 10th Indian Statistical Physics Community Meeting, an annual discussion event bringing together scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from across India working in statistical physics. Discover how concepts from statistical physics apply to biological systems, specifically examining the dynamics of mucus films in airways and their potential to cause blockages. The talk contributes to the broader meeting themes covering areas such as out-of-equilibrium systems, biological physics, and complex systems. The conference features discussions on general mathematical aspects, quantum fluids, disordered systems, soft matter, nonlinear physics, and interdisciplinary applications of statistical physics.
