Photosynthetically-powered phototactic active nematic fluids and gels
Andrii Repula, Colin Gates, Jeffrey C. Cameron +1
One of the most ancient forms of life dating to ~3.5 billion years ago, cyanobacteria are highly abundant organisms that convert light into energy and motion, often within conjoine…
Directing liquid crystalline self-organization of rod-like particles through tunable attractive single tips
Andrii Repula, Mariana Oshima Menegon, Cheng Wu +2
Dispersions of rodlike colloidal particles exhibit a plethora of liquid crystalline states, including nematic, smectic A, smectic B, and columnar phases. This phase behavior can be…
Rod-Like Virus-Based Multiarm Colloidal Molecules
Alexis de la Cotte, Cheng Wu, Marie Trevisan +2
We report on the construction of multiarm colloidal molecules by tip-linking filamentous bacteriophages, functionalized either by biological engineering or chemical conjugation. Th…
Elementary edge and screw dislocations visualized at the lattice periodicity level in smectic phase of colloidal rods
Andrii Repula, Eric Grelet
We report on the identification and quantitative characterization of elementary edge and screw dislocations in a colloidal smectic phase of tip-labeled rods. Thanks to the micromet…
