Abstract The behavior of microgels and other soft, compressible colloids depends on particle concentration in ways that are absent in their hard-particulate counterparts. For instance, poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (pNIPAM) microgels can spontaneously d

We make toroidal droplets of nematic liquid crystal and explore the defect-populated stable configurations that appear after heating to the isotropic phase and cooling back to the nematic phase. These configurations, as confirmed by simulations, are

Some active matter systems as they evolve, can be characterized by spatially varying density, with some regions that are dense and immobile, and other regions with lower density that accommodate most mobile particles. The authors show that this pheno

The dynamics of long term phase separation in binary liquid mixtures remains a subject of fundamental interest. Here, we study a binary liquid mixture, where the minority phase is confined to a liquid crystal (LC)-rich droplet, by investigating the e

We investigate the defect transitions that occur when a nematic shell is transformed into a droplet. Two different scenarios are observed depending on the initial defect structure of the shell, including an abrupt expulsion of the shell inner droplet

Active matter, which includes crowds of organisms, is composed of constituents that independently consume and dissipate energy. Some active matter systems have been shown to sustain the propagation of various types of waves, resulting from the interp

We study fire-ant columns, an active version of passive granular columns, and find that, despite the inherent activity of the ants and their natural tendency to rearrange, the ants develop force-chain structures that help support the weight of the co
