This article provides a concise review of a new state of colloidal matter called nematic liquid-
crystal colloids. These colloids are obtained by dispersing microparticles of different shapes …

In this brief review, we give an introduction to selected colloidal and microfluidic nematic
microstructures, as enabled by the inherent anisotropy and microscopic orientational …

Recent advances in surface-patterning techniques of liquid crystals have enabled the
precise creation of topological defects, which promise a variety of emergent applications …

Topology is a universal concept that is encountered in daily life and is known to determine
many static and dynamical properties of matter. Taming and controlling the topology of …

Linear defect‐disclinations are of fundamental interest in understanding complex structures
