Uphill and downhill first passage of an active Brownian particle: Asymmetry and exact path reweighting
Mykola Tasinkevych, Xuan My Le, Artem Ryabov
First passage processes in active systems combine stochastic transport with self-propulsion and orientational persistence, making motion along and against an external bias sensitiv…
Curvature-guided topology and self-assembly in chiral nematics and liquid-crystal colloids
Ivan I. Smalyukh, Mykola Tasinkevych
In soft condensed matter, curvature does more than simply distort an ordered medium: it helps select defect structures, redistribute elastic stress, bias chirality, and guide self-…
A diffuse-interface theory of active nematic interfaces: transport mechanisms and modal structure
Rodrigo C. V. Coelho, Mykola Tasinkevych, Margarida M. Telo da Gama
We develop a long-wavelength theory for the linear stability of a flat interface between an active nematic and an isotropic fluid. Starting from a diffuse-interface Cahn--Hilliard-…
The 2026 Skyrmionics Roadmap
Sabri Koraltan, Claas Abert, Manfred Albrecht +64
Magnetic skyrmions and related topological spin textures have emerged as a central topic in condensed-matter physics, combining fundamental significance with potential for transfor…
Hybridization of colloidal handlebodies with singular defects and topological solitons in chiral liquid crystals
Jun-Yong Lee, Asha Kumari, Ye Yuan +2
Topology can manifest itself in colloids when quantified by invariants like Euler characteristics of nonzero-genus colloidal surfaces, albeit spherical colloidal particles are most…
Convolutional Neural Network analysis of optical texture patterns in liquid-crystal skyrmions
J. Terroa, M. Tasinkevych, C. S. Dias
Liquid crystals are known for their optical birefringence, a property that gives rise to intricate patterns and colors when viewed in a microscope between crossed polarisers. Resul…
