Moiré effect enables versatile design of topological defects in nematic liquid crystals
Abstract Recent advances in surface-patterning techniques of liquid crystals have enabled the precise creation of topological defects, which promise a variety of emergent applications. However, the manipulation and application of these defects remain limited. Here, we harness the moiré effect to eng...
