Optically enriched and guided dynamics of active skyrmions
Hayley R. O. Sohn, Changda D. Liu, Robert Voinescu +2
Light provides a powerful means of controlling physical behavior of materials but is rarely used to power and guide active matter systems. We demonstrate optical control of liquid…
Light-controlled skyrmions and torons as reconfigurable particles
Hayley R. O. Sohn, Changda D. Liu, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Topological solitons, such as skyrmions, arise in field theories of systems ranging from Bose-Einstein condensates to optics, particle physics, and cosmology, but they are rarely a…
Schools of skyrmions with electrically tunable elastic interactions
Hayley R. O. Sohn, Changda D. Liu, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Coexistence of order and fluidity in soft matter often mimics that in biology, allowing for complex dynamics and applications like displays. In active soft matter, emergent order c…
