Machine learning topological defects in confluent tissues
Biophysical ReportsActive nematics is an emerging paradigm for characterizing biological systems. One aspect of particularly intense focus is the role active nematic defects play in these systems, as they have been found to mediate a growing number of biological processes.

From 0D to 3D liquid crystal elastomers architectures: Fabrications and applications
Responsive Materials, EarlyView.This review presents a dimension‐oriented overview of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), highlighting their molecular alignment, fabrication strategies, and programmable deformations from 0D particles to 3D architectures. Emphasis is placed on how dimensionality guides design principles, enables diverse actuation modes, and bridges fundamental ...

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.This Perspective discusses the potential of stimuli‐responsive liquid crystal polymer bio‐interfaces in modulating cell behavior as next generation dynamic artificial scaffolds. Unlike current artificial biomaterials that have static properties, LCPs offer fast, reversible, and spatially programmable deformation that reflects the dynamic properties of ...

Delamination and Scrolling of the Phyllosilicate Kenyaite
Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.Kenyaite was delaminated via cation exchange with meglumine. Nanosheets of 1.6 nm thickness are initially locked in a coplanar arrangement but scroll up upon dilution. Kenyaite, Na[Si10O20(OH)] · 4H2O, is a phyllosilicate structurally related to Ilerite and Magadiite, whose platy, nonintergrown morphology makes it a promising precursor for high‐aspect ...

Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Spin–orbit interaction (SOI) of light is exploited to generate helicity‐dependent complex rotational and revolution dynamics in optical tweezers. At the trap center, particle rotation is governed by the direct helicity that follows the input polarization.

Anisotropic swim stress in active matter with nematic order
New Journal of Physics, 2018 Active Brownian particles (ABPs) transmit a swim pressure ${{\rm{\Pi }}}^{{\rm{swim}}}=n\zeta {D}^{{\rm{swim}}}$ to the container boundaries, where ζ is the drag coefficient, D ^swim is the swim diffusivity and n is the uniform bulk number density far ...

Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 24, 23 March 2026.Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

Anomalous dynamics of a passive droplet in active turbulence
Nature CommunicationsMotion of a passive deformable object in an active environment serves as a representative of both in-vivo systems such as intracellular particle motion in Acanthamoeba castellanii, or in-vitro systems such as suspension of beads inside dense swarms of ...
