Membranes - Introduction
Understanding the properties of two-dimensional interfaces and membranes
has become an important goal for many fields of science, including:
- biology (cell membranes),
- chemistry and chemical physics (reactions at interfaces, cosmetics, medicine),
- theoretical physics (condensed matter, particle physics).
Behavior of red blood cells in the body can be described by the
same theories very similar to the string theories of particle physics.
Aim to bring out generality of membrane models. A range of explorations
from the biology of life processes through materials to cosmology.
Leverage interest in physics from more familiar biological context?
