Chevron patterns in an active nematic liquid crystal film in contact with Smectic A
M. Carme Calderer, Lingxing Yao, Longhua Zhao +3
We study a new mechanism of active matter confinement of a thin, active nematic sample consisting of microtubules, activated by Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), placed between a slab…
Dynamics of active defects on the anisotropic surface of an ellipsoidal droplet
Martina Clairand, Ali Mozaffari, Jérôme Hardoüin +6
Cells are fundamental building blocks of living organisms displaying an array of shapes, morphologies, and textures that encode specific functions and physical behaviors. Elucidati…
Probing the shear viscosity of an active nematic
Pau Guillamat, Jordi Ignés-Mullol, Suraj Shankar +2
In vitro reconstituted active systems, such as the ATP-driven microtubule bundle suspension developed by the Dogic group, provide a fertile testing ground for elucidating the pheno…
Continuous rotation of achiral nematic liquid crystal droplets driven by heat flux
Jordi Ignés-Mullol, Guilhem Poy, Patrick Oswald
Suspended droplets of cholesteric (chiral nematic) liquid crystals spontaneously rotate in the presence of a heat flux due to a temperature gradient, a phenomenon known as Lehmann…
Reconfigurable assembly of nematic colloids commanded by photoactivated surface patterns
Sergi Hernàndez-Navarro, Pietro Tierno, Jordi Ignés-Mullol +1
Different phoretic driving mechanisms have been proposed for the transport of solid or liquid microscopic inclusions in integrated chemical processes. However, the ability to rever…
