Asters, Spirals and Vortices in Mixtures of Motors and Microtubules: The Effects of Confining Geometries on Pattern Formation

Sumithra Sankararaman, Gautam I. Menon, P. B. Sunil Kumar

We model the effects of confinement on the stable self-organized patterns obtained in the non-equilibrium steady states of mixtures of molecular motors and microtubules. In experim…
