Helical Flow States in Active Nematics
Ryan Keogh, Santhan Chandragiri, Benjamin Loewe +3
We show that confining extensile nematics in 3D channels leads to the emergence of two self-organized flow states with nonzero helicity. The first is a pair of braided anti-paralle…
Passive Janus Particles Are Self-propelled in Active Nematics
Benjamin Loewe, Tyler N. Shendruk
While active systems possess notable potential to form the foundation of new classes of autonomous materials, designing systems that can extract functional work from active surroun…
Submersed Micropatterned Structures Control Active Nematic Flow, Topology and Concentration
Kristian Thijssen, Dimitrius Khaladj, S. Ali Aghvami +5
Coupling between flows and material properties imbues rheological matter with its wide-ranging applicability, hence the excitement for harnessing the rheology of active fluids for…
