報告內容簡介:
The collective mobility of active matter (self-propelled objects that transduce energy into mechanical work to drive their motion, most commonly through fluids) constitutes a new frontier in science and achievable technology. My talk will focus on the collective assembly behavior and dynamics of micron-sized building blocks, whose properties we can design and regulate. In particular, we introduce the mechanism of converting energy from other sources to mechanical force for individual constituents, so the assembly structures and dynamics are distinctly different from and more exciting than traditional equilibrium assembly. We acknowledge and respect the complexity and perplexity of life; as non-biologists, we aim to design synthetic as well as purify and modify biological materials to construct simplified model systems and study specific problems.
