This work dives deeper into the self-organised #emergent behaviour of #ActivePolymers and sheds light on how soft and active matter can #experimentally mimic #LivingSystems!. To read more about this work, check out this thread:. 2/2.
Here is a visual essay summarising the latest paper on Active Polymers from @stpalli lab!. 🧵Scroll to learn how biophysicists are trying to mimic living systems to create synthetic self-morphing active matter. @Alpha_Manoj .Link to the publication: (1/7)

@thattai @NCBS_Bangalore @SimonsFdn Post-lunch, we were joined by @ArchishmanRaju, who delivered a short presentation + chalk talk on #Emergent #Universality in #PeriodDoubling! . His lecture also helped participants develop a numerical intuition for these problems by actively plotting solutions on their laptops!
