Self-organized dynamics and the transition to turbulence of confined active nematics
Achini Opathalage, Michael M. Norton, Michael P. N. Juniper +4
We study how confinement transforms the chaotic dynamics of bulk microtubule-based active nematics into regular spatiotemporal patterns. For weak confinements, multiple continuousl…

Insensitivity of active nematic dynamics to topological constraints
Michael M. Norton, Arvind Baskaran, Achini Opathalage +4
Confining a liquid crystal imposes topological constraints on the orientational order, allowing global control of equilibrium systems by manipulation of anchoring boundary conditio…
