Shape Switching and Tunable Oscillations of Adaptive Droplets
Tim Dullweber, Roman Belousov, Camilla Autorino +2
Living materials adapt their shape to signals from the environment, yet the impact of shape changes on signal processing and associated feedback dynamics remain unclear. We find th…

Feedback between microscopic activity and macroscopic dynamics drives excitability and oscillations in mechanochemical matter
Tim Dullweber, Roman Belousov, Anna Erzberger
The macroscopic behaviour of active matter arises from nonequilibrium microscopic processes. In soft materials, active stresses typically drive macroscopic shape changes, which in…
