Emergent discrete space-time crystal of Majorana-like quasiparticles in chiral liquid crystals
Hanqing Zhao, Rui Zhang, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Time crystals spontaneously break the time translation symmetry, as recently has been frequently reported in quantum systems. Here we describe the observation of classical analogue…
Quorum sensing of light-activated colloids in nematic liquid crystals
Antonio Tavera-Vázquez, David Martin, Haijie Ren +5
Motile living organisms routinely probe their surroundings to adapt in ever-evolving environments. Although synthetic microswimmers offer surrogates for self-propelled living entit…
Omnidirectionally manipulated skyrmions in an orientationally chiral system
Jiahao Chen, Wentao Tang, Xingzhou Tang +7
Skyrmions, originally from condensed matter physics, have been widely explored in various physical systems, including soft matter. A crucial challenge in manipulating topological s…
Elongated vortex quantum droplets in binary Bose-Einstein condensates
Guilong Li, Zibin Zhao, Rui Zhang +4
Stability of elongated (``slender") quantum droplets (QDs) with embedded unitary and multiple vorticity is a problem that was not solved previously. In this work, we propose a solu…
Experimental evidence of crystal symmetry protection for the topological nodal line semimetal state in ZrSiS
C. C. Gu, J. Hu, X. L. Chen +19
Tunable symmetry breaking plays a crucial role for the manipulation of topological phases of quantum matter. Here, through combined high-pressure magneto-transport measurements, Ra…
