Nonreciprocal surface tension: anisotropy-induced defect motility and organization
Nonreciprocal surface tension in the Nonreciprocal Cahn-Hilliard model induces defect motility and organization into target patterns and mosaic-waves whose large-scale dynamics belong to the anisotropic Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class.
