[Soft-matter] Soft Matter and Stat Phys Seminar on 18 Nov 2022

[Maciej Lisicki]

Dear Soft Matter Colleagues and Friends,

On Friday 18 November 2022 at 9:30 AM at the UW Faculty of Physics (Pasteura 5, Warsaw; room 1.40) we are hosting a seminar during which

Stanisław Żukowski (FUW)

will give a talk

Finger revival and reconnections near breakthrough in unstable growth processes

Abstract
Transport networks, such as vasculature or river networks, provide crucial functionalities in organisms and the environment. They often emerge as a result of unstable growth processes, in which growing branches of the network compete for the available flux. This leads to effective repulsion between the branches and screening of the shorter ones. We show that a striking transition in growth dynamics takes place as the leading branch reaches the end of the system. The shorter branches revive and grow towards the leading one forming loops. These effects are observed both in the living and inanimate systems.

We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, held in room 2.63 (2nd floor).
