Dynamics of aging soft matter

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/events/2001/74671-dynamics-of-aging-soft-matter

We use multispeckle dynamic light scattering to study the dynamics of aging soft materials. Results for gels formed by aggregating colloidal particles will be presented. Even though the gel is an elastic solid, the dynamic structure factor f(q,t)

The mathematics of active matter

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/events/2022/82063-the-mathematics-of-active-matter

A flock of birds, a shoal of fish,  a swarm of robots,  a colony of swimming bacteria; these are examples of systems composed of interacting units that consume energy and collectively generate motion and mechanical forces on their environment. T
