Fundamentally important as models for the study of energy and charge migration in self-
organized systems, discotic liquid crystals find functional application as one-dimensional …

A review of thermodynamic, materials science, and rheological liquid crystal models is
presented and applied to a wide range of biological liquid crystals, including helicoidal …

Axial orientation of discotic columnar liquid crystals in nanopores of inorganic templates,
with the columns parallel to the axis of the nanochannels, is considered desirable for …

We explore a nuclear physics resolution to the discrepancy between the predicted standard
big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) abundance of Li 7 and its observational determination in …

A review of thermodynamic and flow liquid crystal models is presented and applied to a wide
range of biological liquid crystals (BLCs), including helicoidal plywoods, biopolymer …

The textures exhibited by nematic liquid crystals confined to cylindrical capillaries under
homeotropic anchoring have been studied for nearly thirty years. One of the reasons behind …

A range of triphenylene and phthalocyanine‐based discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) can be
aligned within micrometer‐scale channels formed from SU8 patterned on silicon or glass …

Computational modeling of the steady capillary Poiseuille flow of flow-aligning discotic
nematic liquid crystals (DNLCs) using the Leslie–Ericksen (LE) equations predicts solution …

We explore effects of the screening due to the relativistic electron-positron plasma and
presence of resonances in the secondary reactions leading to A= 7 nuclei during the Big …

Motivated by recent experiments on the rod-like virus bacteriophage fd, confined to circular
and annular domains, we present a theoretical study of structural transitions in these …
