Prof. Ernst Rank and the TUM-IAS team invite the scientists of TUM and their guests for coffee each Wednesday! Just come over to the TUM-IAS after lunch between 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. and have a coffee with us, meet other scientists and listen from time to time to a short talk (10-15 mins) on a recent major TUM publication or issue – aimed specifically at a non-expert audience.
On December 05, 2018, Prof. Andreas Bausch (Cellular Biophysics) will talk about the detection of unique patterning phenomena in systems whose parts move actively. Despite identical initial conditions, two different states can coexist and dynamically interconvert. Moreover, subtle fluctuations on the microscopic level do not die away. Instead they can have significant consequences for the whole system at the macroscopic level. According to the study’s authors, these insights have profound implications for various fields of research, and could lead to new ways of understanding biological processes (TUM press release).

We look forward to seeing you there!
