Nematic colloidal micro-robots as physically intelligent systems
Tianyi Yao, Žiga Kos, Yimin Luo +4
Physically intelligent micro-robotic systems exploit information embedded in micro-robots, their colloidal cargo, and their milieu to interact, assemble and form functional structu…
Harmonic flow field representations of quantum bits and gates
Vishal P. Patil, Žiga Kos, Jörn Dunkel
We describe a general procedure for mapping arbitrary -qubit states to two-dimensional (2D) vector fields. The mappings use complex rational function representations of individu…
Topological defect-propelled swimming of nematic colloids
Tianyi Yao, Žiga Kos, Yimin Luo +3
Non-equilibrium dynamics of topological defects can be used as a fundamental propulsion mechanism in microscopic active matter. Here, we demonstrate swimming of topological defect-…
Discharging dynamics of topological batteries
Vishal P. Patil, Žiga Kos, Miha Ravnik +1
Topological constraints have long been known to provide efficient mechanisms for localizing and storing energy across a range of length scales, from knots in DNA to turbulent plasm…
Sculpting stable structures in pure liquids
Tadej Emeršič, Rui Zhang, Žiga Kos +4
Pure liquids in thermodynamic equilibrium are structurally homogeneous. In liquid crystals, flow and light pulses are used to create reconfigurable domains with polar order. Moreov…
Microfluidic control over topological states in channel-confined nematic flows
Simon Čopar, Žiga Kos, Tadej Emeršič +1
Compared to isotropic liquids, orientational order of nematic liquid crystals makes their rheological properties more involved, and thus requires fine control of the flow parameter…
