The interplay between activity and filament flexibility determines the emergent properties of active nematics
Abhijeet Joshi, Elias Putzig, Aparna Baskaran +1
Active nematics are microscopically driven liquid crystals that exhibit dynamical steady states characterized by the creation and annihilation of topological defects. Motivated by…

Instabilities, defects, and defect ordering in an overdamped active nematic
Elias Putzig, Gabriel S. Redner, Arvind Baskaran +1
We consider a phenomenological continuum theory for an extensile, overdamped active nematic liquid crystal, applicable in the dense regime. Constructed from general principles, the…

Phase Separation and Emergent Structures in an Active Nematic
Elias Putzig, Aparna Baskaran
We consider a phenomenological continuum model for an active nematic fluid and show a universal, model independent, instability which renders the homogeneous nematic state unstable…
