Colloidal suspensions of microscopic particles show complex and interesting collective behaviors. In particular, the collective dynamics of colloids is fundamental and ubiquitous for materials ...

Colloidal interactions in nematic liquid crystals can be described as interactions between elastic multipoles that depend on particle shape, topology, chirality, boundary conditions and induced ...

Lattice transformations that preserve the system topology, but not its geometry, are common in condensed matter systems. However, how geometric constrains influence the topological properties of the ...
