Journal ArticleDOI
Frustrated nematic order in spherical geometries
TL;DR: In this paper, a spherical colloid with a nematic liquid crystal is used to control the number and orientation of the defects in the crystal, which could be useful for engineering the microstructure of colloidal materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Odd viscosity in chiral active fluids.
Debarghya Banerjee,Anton Souslov,Anton Souslov,Alexander G. Abanov,Vincenzo Vitelli,Vincenzo Vitelli +5 more
TL;DR: A hydrodynamic theory of chiral active fluids is developed and odd viscosity is connected, which was previously considered an abstract concept.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topological sound in active-liquid metamaterials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors exploit a mapping between density waves on top of a chiral flow and electrons in a synthetic gauge field to lay out design principles for artificial structures termed topological active metamaterials, which support topologically protected sound modes that propagate unidirectionally, without backscattering, along either sample edges or domain walls.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physics of forgetting: Landauer's erasure principle and information theory
M. B. Plenio,Vincenzo Vitelli +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the concept of information and its intimate relationship with physics are discussed. And the authors analyse Landauer's principle which states that the erasure of information is inevitably accompanied by the generation of heat, and employ this principle to derive a number of results in classical and quantum information theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective buckling via states of self-stress in topological metamaterials
TL;DR: A novel metamaterial is demonstrated in which small structural variations single out regions that buckle selectively under external stresses, which are at first glance indistinguishable from the rest of the structure.
