Nematic bits and universal logic gates
Žiga Kos, Jörn Dunkel
Liquid crystals (LCs) can host robust topological defect structures that essentially determine their optical and elastic properties. Although recent experimental progress enables p…
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…
