Deforming polar active matter in a scalar field gradient
Active matter with local polar or nematic order is subject to the well-known Simha-Ramaswamy instability. It is so far unclear how, despite this instability, biological tissues can undergo robust active anisotropic deformation during animal morphogenesis. Here we ask under which conditions protein c...
