Segregation, Finite Time Elastic Singularities and Coarsening in Renewable Active Matter
Ayan Roychowdhury, Saptarshi Dasgupta, Madan Rao
Material renewability in active living systems, such as in cells and tissues, can drive the large-scale patterning of forces, with distinctive phenotypic consequences. This is espe…
