Journal ArticleDOI
Soft self-assembly of Weyl materials for light and sound.
Michel Fruchart,Seung-Yeol Jeon,Kahyun Hur,Vadim Cheianov,Ulrich Wiesner,Vincenzo Vitelli,Vincenzo Vitelli +6 more
TL;DR: A bottom-up approach based on self-assembly to engineer 3D photonic and phononic crystals with topologically protected Weyl points is presented and how to achieve such constraints using a symmetry-driven pipeline for self-assembled material design and discovery is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topological structure and dynamics of three-dimensional active nematics
Guillaume Duclos,Raymond Adkins,Debarghya Banerjee,Debarghya Banerjee,Matthew Peterson,Minu Varghese,Itamar Kolvin,Arvind Baskaran,Robert A. Pelcovits,Thomas R. Powers,Aparna Baskaran,Federico Toschi,Michael F. Hagan,Sebastian J. Streichan,Vincenzo Vitelli,Daniel A. Beller,Zvonimir Dogic,Zvonimir Dogic +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, force-generating microtubule bundles were dispersed in a passive colloidal liquid crystal to form a three-dimensional active nematic, where the primary topological excitations are extended, charge-neutral disclination loops that undergo complex dynamics and recombination events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic jamming fronts
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional collection of initially unjammed disks are forced into the jammed state by uniaxial compression via a rake, which leads to a stable densification front that travels ahead of the rake, leaving regions behind it jammed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal control of liquid crystal structure and dynamics through activity patterning.
Rui Zhang,Rui Zhang,Steven A. Redford,Paul V. Ruijgrok,Nitin Kumar,Nitin Kumar,Ali Mozaffari,Sasha Zemsky,Aaron R. Dinner,Vincenzo Vitelli,Zev Bryant,Margaret L. Gardel,Juan J. de Pablo,Juan J. de Pablo +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concept of spatially structured activity as a means of controlling and manipulating transport in active nematic liquid crystals consisting of actin filaments and light-sensitive myosin motors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of rigidity in controlling material failure
Michelle Driscoll,Bryan Gin-ge Chen,Thomas H. Beuman,Stephan Ulrich,Sidney R. Nagel,Vincenzo Vitelli +5 more
TL;DR: This work demonstrates that material failure can be continuously tuned by varying the underlying rigidity of the material while holding the amount of disorder constant, and investigates how material rigidity acts as a key control parameter for the failure of solids under stress.
