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…
Topological Defects Mediate Collective Transport of Confluent Cells
Jiusi Zhang, Chung Wing Chan, Bo Li +1
Collective cell migration governs a range of physiological and pathological processes, from tissue morphogenesis to cancer invasion, in which topological defects arise as an inevit…
