SUMMARY:Forces exerted and mediated by active matter
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Yariv Kafri\, Technion\n\nPart of the Biophysics/Cond
	ensed Matter Seminar Series.\n\nActive matter is a class of non-equilibrium
	 systems consisting of particles which consume energy and dissipate it to s
	elf propel. They encompass a wide range of physical systems ranging from bi
	ological\, granular\, and artificial colloidal systems. In recent years it 
	was realized that the forces exerted by active particles on walls or object
	s can exhibit a host of anomalous phenomena. In the talk\, I will review th
	e progress achieved in recent years\, including the lack of existence of an
	 equation of state for the pressure exerted by active systems on walls and 
	the existence of generic long-range forces mediated by active systems on ob
	jects placed inside them. Time permitting I will also discuss related work 
	on the influence of disorder on active systems and escape problems.
