Active Materials: Biological Benchmarks and Transport Limitations
Abstract
These lecture notes were prepared for the 2018 Summer School on `Active Matter and Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics' at l'\'Ecole de Physique des Houches. They survey metabolic activity across a wide range of living organisms, and consider size limitations due to the transport of fuel, waste, and heat for active materials at biomimetic levels of activity.
