Decoding Life's Enigmas: Active Matter Theory Unravels Centuries-Old Biological Secrets

Scientists have developed an open-source supercomputer algorithm that can solve the complex equations of active matter theory, enhancing our understanding of living materials. This algorithm allows for the exploration of the behaviors of biological materials across space and time, bringing us closer to understanding how cells and tissues attain their shape and designing artificial biological machines. The algorithm is implemented in an open-source supercomputer code and can handle different shapes in three dimensions, making it applicable to realistic scenarios. The code is scalable and freely available for use, providing a powerful tool for computational scientists to study active materials.
