SUMMARY:Ordered and disordered motion in dense active materials - Ludovic 
 Berthier\, Montpellier
DTSTART:20191105T130000Z
DTEND:20191105T140000Z
UID:TALK132010@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Professor Mike Cates
DESCRIPTION:We discuss how the nonequilibrium driving forces introduced by
  the natural biological activity or by physical self-propulsion mechanisms
  generically affect the structure\, dynamics and phase behavior of dense a
 ctive media. We use theory and computer simulations to analyse simple mode
 ls of such active materials. We borrow concepts from the equilibrium physi
 cs of amorphous and crystalline materials to provide a physical understand
 ing of experimental observations performed with more complex systems such 
 as self-propelled colloidal and granular systems\, biological tissues\, an
 d bacterial colonies.\n\n
