Active matter refers to collectives of self-propelled units, e.g., birds, fish, humans, bacteria, drones. The units tend to self-organize in various structures, without any external guidance. For example, birds flock and bacteria swarm. The agility and versatility of active matter (as seen in the starling murmuration) is inspiring scientists and engineers to develop materials mimicking these properties. This workshop will discuss the latest advances in this rapidly evolving field. This award will provide travel support for US researchers to attend the workshop in CECAM, Switzerland, in March 2023. Up to 5 US participants will be supported through this award, some of whom would not otherwise be able to attend.Active matter a rapidly evolving area of research. Chirality is an intrinsic fundamental property of many natural and artificial active systems. Understanding the role of chirality in dynamics of interacting many-body systems is a major challenge. There has been a surge of interest in collective phenomena that arise when chirality comes into play in both biological and artificial systems. Developing an understanding of the complex dynamics in chiral systems driven out-of-equilibrium by external fields represents a significant theoretical and computational challenge. The workshop would help to assess recent developments and outstanding challenges in understanding of active chiral systems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

主动物质是指组合自行式单元，例如鸟类，鱼类，人类，细菌，无人机。这些单位倾向于在各种结构中进行自组织，而无需任何外部指导。例如，鸟类蜂拥而至。主动物质的敏捷性和多功能性（如Starling Murmuration中所见）激发了科学家和工程师开发模仿这些特性的材料。该研讨会将讨论这个快速发展的领域的最新进展。该奖项将为美国研究人员提供旅行支持，以便2023年3月参加瑞士CECAM的研讨会。通过该奖项将为多达5个美国参与者提供支持，其中一些奖项将无法参加。活动的迅速发展的研究领域。手性是许多天然和人造活性系统的内在基本特性。了解手性在相互作用多体系统动态中的作用是一个主要挑战。当生物学和人造系统都发挥手学时，人们对集体现象产生了兴趣激增。发展对手性系统中复杂动力学的理解是由外部磁场驱动的，这是一个重大的理论和计算挑战。该研讨会将有助于评估最新的发展和理解主动性手性系统的杰出挑战。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准的评估值得支持的。
