Looking for submissions : EPJE Topical Issue: Nonequilibrium Collective Dynamics in Condensed and Biological Matter

Nonequilibrium collective dynamics is ubiquitous in all fields of science. We are surrounded by numerous examples, at all length-scales, where individuals synchronize their actions to create novel collective motional patterns. This new EPJE topical issue invites contributions from condensed matter and biological physics that explore on a microscopic scale the complex collective dynamics of nonlinear, dissipative systems driven out of equilibrium.

The topical issue Editors welcome new and exciting research contributions dealing with light-matter interaction, collective dynamics in complex fluids initiated by external fields, and active processes in biological systems. In particular, the aim is to address the field of soft active matter in all its diversity, ranging from artificial to biological systems, both on the continuum and particle level. Contributions addressing the fundamentals and basic methods of nonequilibrium collective dynamics are welcome.

The topical issue has been inspired by the international conference NECD15:www.itp.tu-berlin.de/necd15

Submission for this topical issue is open to everyone working in the field. Authors are invited to send their manuscripts to the Editorial Office of EPJEhttps://articlestatus.edpsciences.org/is/epje (or by email toepje@edpsciences.org). Submissions should be clearly identified as intended for the Topical Issue “Nonequilibrium Collective Dynamics in Condensed and Biological Matter » and marked for the attention of the Guest Editors.

We are looking forward to receiving your submission!
