The Allure of Active Matter - Lecture 2

Explore the fascinating world of active matter in this second lecture of the Chandrasekhar Lecture series delivered by Sriram Ramaswamy, Honorary Professor and J C Bose National Fellow at IISc, India. Delve into the study of matter whose constituents, known as active particles, convert energy into work. Gain insights into recent developments and key earlier work in the field of soft-matter and nonequilibrium physics. Discover how this lecture connects to other problems in the physics of driven systems and identifies important future directions. Learn from a renowned theoretician with broad interests in nonequilibrium, soft matter, and biological physics, whose research helped found the field of Active Matter.
