Surfing, sweeping, and assembly of particles by a moving liquid crystal phase boundary
Tom Shneer, Jocelyn Ochoa, Alauna C. Wheeler +5
Non-equilibrium transport of particles embedded in a liquid crystal host can, by cooling through a phase transition, be exploited to create a remarkable variety of structures inclu…
Fractal generation in a two-dimensional active-nematic fluid
Kevin A. Mitchell, Amanda J. Tan, Jorge Arteaga +1
Active fluids, composed of individual self-propelled agents, can generate complex large-scale coherent flows. A particularly important laboratory realization of such an active flui…
Submersed Micropatterned Structures Control Active Nematic Flow, Topology and Concentration
Kristian Thijssen, Dimitrius Khaladj, S. Ali Aghvami +5
Coupling between flows and material properties imbues rheological matter with its wide-ranging applicability, hence the excitement for harnessing the rheology of active fluids for…
Deformation and chaining of flexible shells in a nematic solvent
Andrew DeBenedictis, Andrea L. Rodarte, Linda S. Hirst +1
A micrometer-scale elastic shell immersed in a nematic liquid crystal may be deformed by the host if the cost of deformation is comparable to the cost of elastic deformation of the…
Understanding the role of transport velocity in biomotor-powered microtubule spool assembly
Amanda J. Tan, Dail E. Chapman, Linda S. Hirst +1
We examined the sensitivity of microtubule spools to transport velocity. Perhaps surprisingly, we determined that the steady-state number and size of spools remained constant over…
A Simple Experimental Model to Investigate Force Range for Membrane Nanotube Formation
Chai Lor, Joseph D. Lopes, Michelle K. Mattson-Hoss +2
The presence of membrane tubules in living cells is essential to many biological processes. In cells, one mechanism to form nanosized lipid tubules is via molecular motor induced b…
