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…
Nematic Colloidal Swarms Assembled and Transported on Photosensitive Surfaces
Sergi Hernàndez-Navarro, Pietro Tierno, Jordi Ignés-Mullol +1
We demonstrate a novel method to assemble and transport swarms of colloidal particles by combining liquid crystals enabled electrophoresis and photo-sensitive surface patterning. C…
