Nanomaterials in Liquid Crystals as Ion-Generating and Ion-Capturing Objects
Crystals, 2018 The majority of tunable liquid crystal devices are driven by electric fields. The performance of such devices can be altered by the presence of small amounts of ions in liquid crystals.

Biophysical Journal, 2014 SignificanceWe propose a class of active matter, the living liquid crystal (LLC), representing motile rod-shaped bacteria placed in water-based nontoxic liquid crystal. Long-range orientational order of the liquid crystal and the swimming activity of bacteria demonstrate a strong coupling that dramatically alters individual and collective bacterial ...
