Molecular machines operated by light have been recently shown to be able to produce
oriented motion at the molecular scale, as well as do macroscopic work when embedded in …

The Lehmann effect is the continuous rotation of cholesteric droplets subjected to a
temperature gradient. Discovered by Otto Lehmann in 1900, this effect was re-observed …

In this review, we focus on recent experiments involving transport and other dynamical
aspects of emulsified droplets under nonequilibrium conditions. We include both active …

Morphogenesis is a hierarchical phenomenon that produces various macroscopic structures
in living organisms, with high reproducibility. This study demonstrates that such structural …

We have used in operando grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) to
monitor structural changes during templated electrodeposition of mesoporous platinum films …

When heat flux is applied to a chiral liquid crystal, unidirectional rotation is induced around
the flux axis, as first discovered by Otto Lehmann in 1900. In recent years, this heat-flux …

Using a photo-responsive dimer exhibiting the transition between nematic (N) and twist-
bend nematic (NTB) phases, we prepared spherical cap-shaped droplets on solid substrates …

In this Letter, we report a novel phenomenon—that the multi-lobed rotation of a droplet can
occur when controlling only its volume and without the use of external devices, which is …

Self-propulsion of droplets is of great significance in many fields. The spontaneous
horizontal motion and self-jumping of droplets have been well realized in various ways …

We show that the Leslie and texture-dependent Akopyan and Zel'dovich thermomechanical
coupling terms of nematodynamics cannot explain the thermal Lehmann rotation of the …
