Phases of Collective Cellular Behavior: Rheology, Order & Feedback (October 4-9, 2026, Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems). The intersection of biology and physics is revealing profound questions about how living systems—operating far from equilibrium—organize, move, and develop. Active matter physics, merging non-equilibrium mechanics, soft matter, and hydrodynamics, seeks to explain how collective cellular behavior gives rise to development and regeneration in organisms.
