Dynamics and topology of active and passive liquid crystals
<p>We study the interplay between flow, structure, and topology in liquid crystals, in both passive and active materials. Liquid crystals are fluids, but at the same time structurally anisotropic and strongly influenced by their topology. They exhibit long-range orientational order, with chara...
