Spontaneous self-propulsion and nonequilibrium shape fluctuations of a droplet enclosing active particles
The presence of geometric boundaries is known to affect the collective behaviour of active particles. Here, the authors unravel exotic patterns of self-propulsion and non-equilibrium shape fluctuations in a system of active particles enclosed in a droplet and interacting with its soft boundaries.
