September 18, 2024 3:30pm - 5:00pm On large scales the Universe is well described by a cosmological model where matter primarily comprises cold dark matter (CDM), a single collision-less particle species with negligible primordial thermal dispersion.…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminars
September 18, 2024 3:30pm - 5:00pm Abstract: Soft robots have the potential to adapt their morphology and behavioral control policy to changing tasks and environments. Inspired by the dynamic plasticity of living materials and general adaptability of…
