Self-assembled nematic colloidal motors powered by light
Ye Yuan, Ghaneema N. Abuhaimed, Qingkun Liu +1
Biological motors are marvels of nature that inspire creation of their synthetic counterparts with comparable nanoscale dimensions, high efficiency and diverse functions. Molecular…
Colloidal interactions and unusual crystallization versus de-mixing of elastic multipoles formed by gold mesoflowers
Ye Yuan, Mykola Tasinkevych, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Colloidal interactions in nematic liquid crystals can be described as interactions between elastic multipoles that depend on particle shape, topology, chirality, boundary condition…
Elastic colloidal monopoles and reconfigurable self-assembly in liquid crystals
Ye Yuan, Qingkun Liu, Bohdan Senyuk +1
Monopole-like electrostatic interactions are ubiquitous in biology and condensed matter, but they are often screened by counter-ions and cannot be switched from attractive to repul…
