New Perspectives in Active Systems
International Workshop
24 - 28 April 2023
The study of natural and engineered active systems is rapidly evolving. Recent experimental results challenge early ideas; novel theoretical concepts describe different types of collective active dynamics. We aim to bring together experimentalists and theoreticians with innovative perspectives on active systems, focusing on new experiments, models, and emerging states.
Topics include
- New experimental and engineered active systems
- Natural and artificial active systems at all scales
- Novel collective states: beyond alignment and phase separation
- Nonstandard interactions: nonreciprocal, quorum-based, visual, hierarchical, etc.
- New types of activity: beyond self-propulsion
- Physics of self-propelled components
- Novel theoretical concepts and self-organizing principles
- Interaction network effects
- Anticipation and trajectory dependence
- Non-aligning dynamics
- Active-elastic systems
- Dense and jammed active systems
