Explore enhanced order in two-temperature models of scalar activity in this conference talk by Chandan Dasgupta from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delivered as part of the "Active Matter and Beyond" discussion meeting, this 29-minute presentation delves into cutting-edge research in the field of active matter. Gain insights into novel nonequilibrium systems where energy consumption and dissipation occur at the individual unit level. Learn how these models apply to diverse areas including granular and glassy systems, control theory, and biological processes such as cellular cytoskeleton dynamics, collective cell motion, cancer progression, and large-scale migratory behavior of animal groups. Understand the latest developments in this growing field and its significant implications for various scientific disciplines.
