Self-mixing in microtubule-kinesin active fluid from nonuniform to uniform distribution of activity
Active fluids that consume local fuels to generate movements can be utilized to promote mixing in microfluidic devices. Here, Bate et al. show a transition from diffusion-like to superdiffusion-like behaviours with mixing efficacy depending on the Péclet number and spatial distribution of activities...
