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.

Extremely happy to see our work on the collective chemotaxis of cell groups out!
Such an incredible and fun collaboration leading to exciting interdisciplinary science

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!

Want to put more of *you* into your mathematical modelling? Soon you'll be able to do this through your webcam and VisualPDE!
More exciting things coming soon too! Let us know how we can support your science at [email protected].

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.

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...
