Topology of pulsating active matter: Defect asymmetry controls emergent motility
Luca Casagrande, Alessandro Manacorda, Ãtienne Fodor
In pulsating active matter, topological defects are motile despite the absence of any macroscopic flows and microscopic self-propulsion. We reveal that this motility arises from a…

Collective deformation of anisotropic particles with internal pulsation
Luca Casagrande, Alessandro Manacorda, Etienne Fodor +1
Capturing the emergence of deformation waves in contractile living tissues is a challenge that has recently been tackled with models of actively deformable particles. Inspired by t…
