Topology of pulsating active matter: Defect asymmetry controls emergent motility
Luca Casagrande, Alessandro Manacorda, Étienne 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…

Hydrodynamics of pulsating active liquids
Tirthankar Banerjee, Thibault Desaleux, Jonas Ranft +1
Inspired by dense contractile tissues, where cells are subject to periodic deformation, we formulate and study a generic hydrodynamic theory of pulsating active liquids. Combining…
