Particles embedded in a liquid crystal can interact with each other via elasticity-mediated forces. We study how the host medium’s intrinsic order translates into the self-organization of immersed ...

Through this "nanoscale-sculpturing" process, metals such as aluminium, titanium, or zinc can permanently be joined with nearly all other materials, become water-repellent, or improve their ...
