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…
