Shear thickening in suspensions of particles with dynamic brush layers
Hojin Kim, Michael van der Naald, Finn A. Braaten +3
Control of frictional interactions among liquid-suspended particles has led to tunable, strikingly non-Newtonian rheology via the formation of strong flow constraints as particles…

LCPOM: Precise Reconstruction of Polarized Optical Microscopy Images of Liquid Crystals
Chuqiao Chen, Viviana Palacio-Betancur, Sepideh Norouzi +4
When viewed with a cross-polarized optical microscope (POM), liquid crystals display interference colors and complex patterns that depend on the material's microscopic orientation.…
