Bend Instabilities and Topological Turbulence in Shear-Aligned Living Liquid Crystal
Hend Baza, Fei Chen, Taras Turiv +2
Flagellated microswimmers B. Subtilis dispersed in a nematic phase of a lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal form a living liquid crystal (LLC). The combination of the passive and ac…
Directional Swimming of B. Subtilis Bacteria Near a Switchable Polar Surface
Mahesha Kodithuwakku Arachchige, Zakaria Siddiquee, Hend Baza +3
The dynamics of swimming bacteria depend on the properties of their habitat media. Recently it was shown that the motion of swimming bacteria dispersed directly in a non-toxic wate…
High order nonlinear electrophoresis in a nematic liquid crystal
Mojtaba Rajabi, Taras Turiv, Bing-Xiang Li +3
Electrophoresis is the motion of particles relative to a surrounding fluid driven by a uniform electric field. In conventional electrophoresis, the electrophoretic velocity grows l…
Dynamic control of speed and trajectories of active droplets in a nematic environment by electric field and focused laser beam
Mojtaba Rajabi, Hend Baza, Hao Wang +1
One objective of active matter science is to unveil principles by which chaotic microscale dynamics could be transformed into useful work. A nematic liquid crystal environment offe…
Directional self-locomotion of active droplets enabled by nematic environment
Mojtaba Rajabi, Hend Baza, Taras Turiv +1
Active matter comprised of self-propelled interacting units holds a major promise for extraction of useful work from its seemingly chaotic out-of-equilibrium dynamics. Streamlining…
Shear-induced polydomain structures of nematic lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal disodium cromoglycate
Hend Baza, Taras Turiv, Bing-Xiang Li +4
Lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs) represent aqueous dispersions of organic disk-like molecules that form cylindrical aggregates. Despite the growing interest in these mat…
