New paper out in @pnas.org We followed cells migrating along signalling gradients in 3D, and found they collectively behave as a living droplet - a self-propelling fluid that grows. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Immense props to @bjwalker.bsky.social for the idea and implementation of this feature. I think it's a fantastic way to get more people to interact with PDEs!

Turning myself into a Turing pattern (or nightmare fuel, depending on your perspective) is a fun way to end the day!

New paper in which we demonstrate how to generate #cilia like oscillations with only reciprocal actuation at the base, using theory, simulations and a robotic model. (too bad Phys Rev journals have not made it over to bsky yet) doi.org/10.1103/Phys...

Minimal design of a synthetic cilium

Flexible, active filaments beating in a viscous fluid sustain a variety of waveforms. Complex actuation mechanisms are usually necessary to produce large-amplitude bending waves of the kind observed i...
