a POM of the interacting dimer and small möbiusson. Trajectories of the geometric centre are plotted versus time by means of the colour-coded scale displayed in the left bottom. b The rotation angle versus time for the interacting dimer. The insets are POM snapshots at different times and the dashed line indicates the angle versus time for a freely rotating dimer. The errors in measuring θ are \(\pm\)3°. c Numerically simulated iso-surface that depicts n(r) of a möbiuson at \(|{n}_{z}|\)= 0.8. The vortex line is shown with red colour. The iso-surface colours represent the polar and azimuthal angles of the director orientations, as defined by the coloured sphere. Scale bars correspond to 10 μm and f = 100 Hz.
