Movement of active droplets in dense emulsion

B Kichatov, A Korshunov, V Sudakov - Physics of Fluids, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
The motion of a single active droplet and a swarm of droplets in a dense emulsion can differ
significantly, which is due to the interaction of the droplets with each other. It has been found …
