Morphogenesis of a chiral liquid crystalline droplet with topological reconnection and Lehmann rotation

Abstract Morphogenesis is a hierarchical phenomenon that produces various macroscopic structures in living organisms, with high reproducibility. This study demonstrates that such structural formation can also be observed in a chiral liquid crystalline droplet under a temperature gradient. Through sp...
