Explore a 46-minute conference talk on tissue fluidisation and morphogenesis driven by topological change, presented by Luiza Angheluta from the University of Oslo. Delve into the fascinating world of active matter and its applications in understanding collective phenomena in diverse systems, from living organisms to synthetic materials. Gain insights into the emerging field of active solids and their potential for actuation and shape changes beyond equilibrium states. Discover how this research connects hydrodynamic and elastic theories of active matter with living matter, quantum materials, and animate matter. Learn about the broader context of the "The Many Faces of Active Mechanics" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, which aims to identify overarching principles and future breakthroughs in the study of active solids.
