New computer code for mechanics of tissues and cells in three dimensions

 Mathematics - General News
 20 November 2023
Biological materials are made of individual components, including tiny motors that convert fuel into motion. This creates patterns of movement, and the material shapes itself with coherent flows by constant consumption of energy. Such continuously driven materials are called 'active matter'. The...
