Accessing activity and viscoelastic properties of artificial and living systems from passive measurement
Authors Muenker TM, Knotz G, Krüger M, Betz T Journal Nature Materials Citation Nat Mater. 2024 Jul 31. Abstract Living systems are complex dynamic entities that operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Their active, non-equilibrium behaviour requires energy to drive cellular organization and dynamics. Unfortunately, most statistical mechanics approaches are not
