Morphogenesis in space offers challenges and opportunities for soft matter and biophysics

Abstract The effects of microgravity on soft matter morphogenesis have been documented in countless experiments, but physical understanding is still lacking in many cases. Here we review how gravity affects shape emergence and pattern formation for both inert matter and living systems of different b...
