Intelligent Soft Matter: Towards Embodied Intelligence
Vladimir A. Baulin, Achille Giacometti, Dmitry Fedosov +24
Intelligent soft matter stands at the intersection of materials science, physics, and cognitive science, promising to change how we design and interact with materials. This transfo…

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…

Chiral, Topological, and Knotted Colloids in Liquid Crystals
Ye Yuan, Ivan I. Smalyukh
The geometric shape, symmetry, and topology of colloidal particles often allow for controlling colloidal phase behavior and physical properties of these soft matter systems. In liq…
