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.

活性物质是指自推进单元的集合体，例如，鸟类鱼类人类细菌无人机这些单位往往在没有任何外部指导的情况下，以各种结构自我组织。例如，鸟群和细菌群。活性物质的灵活性和多功能性（如八哥的低语）激励着科学家和工程师开发模仿这些特性的材料。本次研讨会将讨论这一快速发展领域的最新进展。该奖项将为美国研究人员提供旅行支持，以参加2023年3月在瑞士CECAM举行的研讨会。最多5名美国参与者将通过该奖项获得支持，其中一些人否则将无法参加。Active matter一个快速发展的研究领域。手征性是许多天然和人工活性体系固有的基本性质。理解手征性在相互作用的多体系统动力学中的作用是一个重大挑战。当手征性在生物和人工系统中发挥作用时，出现了集体现象，这引起了人们极大的兴趣。发展一个复杂的动力学的手性系统驱动的外部领域的平衡的理解是一个重大的理论和计算挑战。该研讨会将有助于评估最近的发展和突出的挑战，在理解积极的手性systems.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得支持的，通过评估使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
