Screw Symmetry, Chiral Hydrodynamics and Odd Instability in Active Cholesterics
Gareth P. Alexander, S. J. Kole, Ananyo Maitra +1
Active cholesterics are chiral in both their structure, which has continuous screw symmetry, and their active stresses, which include contributions from torque dipoles. Both expres…

Non-reciprocal interactions drive emergent chiral crystallites
S. J. Kole, Xichen Chao, Abraham Mauleon-Amieva +3
We study a new type of 2D active material that exhibits macroscopic phases with two emergent broken symmetries: self-propelled achiral particles that form dense hexatic clusters, w…
