Locking Metastable Topological Domains in Nematic Liquid Crystal Pi Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Selective photopolymerization in the presence of a controlled voltage defines permanent director walls that lock‐in metastable bend and twist configurations within nematic liquid crystal Pi cells. Q‐tensor simulations corroborate the experiments, demonstrating the topological state stabilization.

Excitation basis for (3+1)d topological phases

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We consider an exactly solvable model in 3+1 dimensions, based on a finite group, which is a natural generalization of Kitaev’s quantum double model. The corresponding lattice Hamiltonian yields excitations located at torus-boundaries.

Implementation of Drug‐Induced Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Kidney Injury in Microphysiological System

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A modular Muscle–Kidney proximal tubule‐on‐a‐chip integrates 3D skeletal muscle and renal proximal tubule tissues to model drug‐induced rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. The coculture system enables dynamic tissue interaction, functional contraction monitoring, and quantification of nephrotoxicity, revealing drug side effect‐induced metabolic ...

Geometric entanglement in topologically ordered states

New Journal of Physics, 2014
Here we investigate the connection between topological order and the geometric entanglement, as measured by the logarithm of the overlap between a given state and its closest product state of blocks.

Peak‐in‐Valley Metal Nano‐Architectures via E‐Beam‐Guided Metal Oxide Redox

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Focused electron beam irradiation of nanoelectrosprayed water‐ammonia films enables the synthesis of topologically complex metal nanostructures via solvent‐mediated metal/metal‐ion redox control. Low ammonia favors radiolytic oxidation, etching copper.

Covalent Organic Frameworks for Water Sorption: The Importance of Framework Physical Stability

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the water‐vapor stability of 2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with varying pore sizes. Results reveal microporous COFs demonstrate superior stability compared to mesoporous ones, despite lower water uptake. Mesoporous keto‐enamine‐linked COFs show enhanced stability due to intralayer hydrogen bonds, confirmed by simulations and

A note on the algebraic engineering of 4D N=2 super Yang–Mills theories

Physics Letters B, 2019
Some BPS quantities of N=1 5D quiver gauge theories, like instanton partition functions or qq-characters, can be constructed as algebraic objects of the Ding–Iohara–Miki (DIM) algebra. This construction is applied here to N=2 super Yang–Mills theories in

Robust Bio‐Textiles Via Mycelium‐Cellulose Interface Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a new class of sustainable textiles by growing mycelium, the root‐like structure of fungi, into cellulose‐based fabrics. This semi‐interpenetrating mycelium‐cellulose fiber network combines the strength and breathability of natural fibers with the water‐resistant and adhesive properties of mycelium, resulting in a robust, scalable,
