Emergence of polysaccharide membrane walls through macro-space partitioning via interfacial instability

Abstract Living organisms in drying environments build anisotropic structures and exhibit directionality through self-organization of biopolymers. However, the process of macro-scale assembly is still unknown. Here, we introduce a dissipative structure through a non-equilibrium process between hydra...
