Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Most matter is nominally frozen in the polar regions or space, and liquid crystal materials are no exception. Consequently, soft actuators, including liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), are inoperative under such extreme cold in response to stimuli, as their motion relies on mechanical deformation.

Maximum Entropy Production Is Not a Steady State Attractor for 2D Fluid Convection
Entropy, 2016 Multiple authors have claimed that the natural convection of a fluid is a process that exhibits maximum entropy production (MEP). However, almost all such investigations were limited to fixed temperature boundary conditions (BCs). It was found that under

Droplets: Unconventional Protocell Model with Life-Like Dynamics and Room to Grow
Life, 2014 Over the past few decades, several protocell models have been developed that mimic certain essential characteristics of living cells. These protocells tend to be highly reductionist simplifications of living cells with prominent bilayer membrane ...

, 2013 Convection can occur in a shallow layer of fluid with a small temperature contrast across the layer. Thus, it is natural to hope for a simpler description of buoyantly driven flows via an expansion of the fully compressible equations. The Boussinesq approximation performs well in modeling convection in laboratory experiments, but it is however ...
