What makes living matter different from the inanimate world? Can life be understood through measurable physical quantities such as energy, heat, and entropy? In this talk, Dr. Murrell will explore how we can quantify the physical signatures of living systems and recreate aspects of their behavior using simple assemblies of biological molecules. By building systems that imitate life, we seek to understand the physical principles that make life possible.
