Hydrogels are composed of three-dimensional polymer networks that can absorb large amount of water that can retain their structure with exceptional biocompatibility and versatilityThey are primarily used for biocontainment; however, their mechanical–biological activity interactions have not been explored [1]. In this study, a biological organism called Physarum polycephalum was encapsulated inside the hydrogel sphere. A non-equilibrium oscillatory movement was observed on the surface of hydrogel in the presence of Physarum, likely due the stress induced by its traction forces. While, a monotonic collapse can be observed for a passive hydrogel indicating the absence of an active stresses on its surface. Finite element simulations confirmed these observations by introducing pressure and active forces equations.
