1.
Three-dimensional active defect loops

We analytically and numerically determine dynamics of characteristic defect loops in 3D active nematics.

2.
Field generated nematic microflows via backflow mechanism

We show how distinctive flow fields in a nematic liquid crystal can be generated using external electromagnetic fields.

3.
Microfluidic control over topological states in channel-confined nematic flows

We show how topological states in a nematic liquid crystal can be controlled by the flow rate through a channel and laser twizers.
