Colloids in Two-Dimensional Active Nematics: Conformal Cogs and Controllable Spontaneous Rotation
Alexander J. H. Houston, Gareth P. Alexander
A major challenge in the study of active systems is to harness their non-equilibrium dynamics into useful work. We address this by showing how to design colloids with controllable…

Active Nematic Multipoles: Flow Responses and the Dynamics of Defects and Colloids
Alexander J. H. Houston, Gareth P. Alexander
We introduce a general description of localised distortions in active nematics using the framework of active nematic multipoles. We give the Stokesian flows for arbitrary multipole…
