Spontaneous topological charging of tactoids in a living nematic

Spontaneous topological charging of tactoids in a living nematic

Living nematic is a realization of an active matter combining a nematic liquid crystal with swimming bacteria. The material exhibits a remarkable tendency towards spatio-temporal self-organization manifested in formation of dynamic textures of self-propelled half-integer topological defects (disclin...
