Description
I will discuss pattern formation in active matter confined to a thin film of microtubules activated by Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), focusing on configurations corresponding to high anisotropy of the elastic constants. This is the result of the joint work with M. Carme Calderer (Minnesota), Jordi Ignes-Mullol (Barcelona), Francesc Sagues (Barcelona), Lingxing Yao (Akron), and Longhua Zhao (Case Western).
