Colloidal Active Matter

Concepts, Experimental Realizations, and Models

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What do bird flocks, bacterial swarms, cell tissues, and cytoskeletal fluids have in common? They are all examples of active matter. This book explores how scientists in various disciplines, from physics to biology, have collated a solid corpus of experimental designs and theories during the last two decades to decipher active systems.
