Spinodal instabilities in polydisperse lyotropic nematics
C. Ferreiro-Córdova, H. H. Wensink
Many lyotropic liquid crystals are composed of mesogens that display a considerable spread in size or shape affecting their material properties and thermodynamics via various demix…

Following fluctuating signs: anomalous active superdiffusion of swimmers in anisotropic media
John Toner, Hartmut Löwen, Henricus H. Wensink
Active (i.e., self-propelled or swimming) particles moving through an isotropic fluid exhibit conventional diffusive behavior. We report anomalous diffusion of an active particle m…
