Summary
The Energetic Dance: Exploring Active Matter and Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics
From molecular motors to sprawling animal herds, the biological world teems with active entities. These systems, collectively known as active matter, are characterized by individual components that constantly expend energy to generate self-propelling forces. This book delves into the fascinating realm of active matter and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics.
Based on lectures from the first …
