Curvature-driven, One-step Assembly of Reconfigurable Smectic Liquid Crystal "Compound Eye" Lenses
Francesca Serra, Mohamed A. Gharbi, Yimin Luo +5
Confined smectic A liquid crystals (SmA LCs) form topological defects called focal conic domains (FCDs) that focus light as gradient-index lenses. Here, we exploit surface curvatur…

Algorithmic Lattice Kirigami: A Route to Pluripotent Materials
Daniel M. Sussman, Yigil Cho, Toen Castle +4
We use a regular arrangement of kirigami elements to demonstrate an inverse design paradigm for folding a flat surface into complex target configurations. We first present a scheme…
