From Knots to Crystals: Machine-Learned Potentials for Self-Assembling Topological Solitons in Liquid Crystals
Arunkumar Bupathy, Darian Hall, Ivan I. Smalyukh +3
Knotted fields in classical and quantum systems have long been recognized for their non-trivial topologies and particle-like behavior, but practical applications have been limited…

Two-stage assembly of patchy ellipses: From bent-core particlesto liquid crystal analogs
Anuj Kumar Singh, Arunkumar Bupathy, Jenis Thongam +3
We investigate the two-dimensional behavior of colloidal patchy ellipsoids specifically designed to follow a two-step assembly process from the monomer state to mesoscopic liquid-c…
