SUMMARY:Statistical Physics of Active Matter
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Dr. Julien Tailleur\, Université Paris Diderot\nHost
	ed by: Sidney Redner\n\nPart of the Biophysics/Condensed Matter Seminar Ser
	ies.\n\nAbstract: Over the past few years\, there has been a growing intere
	st among physicists for 'active systems'\, in which energy is taken from th
	e environment to produce self-propulsion at the single particle level. Acti
	ve particles\, such as bacteria\, self-diffusiophoretic colloids or actin f
	ilaments in motility assays\, are thus strongly out-of-equilibrium and exhi
	bit much richer behaviors that their passive counterpart. In this talk I wi
	ll review recent theoretical progresses regarding the steady-state distribu
	tion of active particles and discuss various mechanisms of pattern formatio
	n that have no counterpart in equilibrium systems.
