Command of active matter by topological defects and patterns
Chenhui Peng, Taras Turiv, Yubing Guo +2
Self-propelled bacteria are marvels of nature with a potential to power dynamic materials and microsystems of the future. The challenge is in commanding their chaotic behavior. By…
Controlling placement of nonspherical (boomerang) colloids in nematic cells with photopatterned director
Chenhui Peng, Taras Turiv, Rui Zhang +5
Placing colloidal particles in predesigned sites represents a major challenge of the current state-of-the-art colloidal science. Nematic liquid crystals with spatially varying dire…
Control of colloidal placement by modulated molecular orientation in nematic cells
Chenhui Peng, Taras Turiv, Yubing Guo +3
Colloids self-assemble into various organized superstructures determined by particle interactions. There is a tremendous progress in both the scientific understanding and applicati…
Effects of Translation-Rotation Coupling on the Displacement Probability Distribution Functions of Boomerang Colloidal Particles
Ayan Chakrabarty, Feng Wang, Kai Sun +1
Prior studies have shown that low symmetry particles such as micro-boomerangs exhibit behaviour of Brownian motion rather different from that of high symmetry particles because con…
