Morphology of Active Deformable 3D Droplets
Liam J. Ruske, Julia M. Yeomans
Abstract
A numerical study of 3D droplets of active matter reveals many dynamical responses to a microscopic influx of energy, such as fingerlike protrusions and surface wrinkling, offering new physics insight into life sciences.
