This project focuses on active matter, specifically self-propelled particles in liquids, to understand how their microscopic dynamics influence macroscopic behavior. It aims to develop model systems that reveal the fundamental properties of active suspensions.
‘Active matter’ is matter that is intrinsically out of equilibrium.
In particular, an ‘active suspension’ is made up of self-propelled particles or droplets dispersed in a liquid.
Active matter is not in thermal equilibrium even in the absence of external driving, and display fascinating properties.
Thus, e.g., a so- lution of the filament-forming protein actin and the ‘molecular motor’ protein myosin can ‘burn’ ATP as fuel to produce a gel that flows in the absence of any external pressure grad…
