摘要
The effects of microgravity on soft matter morphogenesis have been documented in countless experiments, but physical understanding is still lacking in many cases. Here we review how gravity affects shape emergence and pattern formation for both inert matter and living systems of different biological complexities. We highlight the importance of building physical models for understanding the experimental results available. Answering these fundamental questions will not only solve basic scientific problems, but will also enable several industrial applications relevant to space exploration.
