Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Similarly to many other countries across the globe, several floods have been recorded in Italy throughout the last few decades, including those of catastrophic magnitude that occurred in the Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany regions last May and a few weeks ago, respectively.
The (w)hole story
Dissipative structures are governed by non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Here, we describe a size-dependent transition of active droplets into active spherical shells–a dissipative structure that originates from reaction-diffusion gradients.
