  • A thin elastic sheet can develop wrinkles which arrange into patterns similar to those characteristic of liquid crystals. Here the authors use this analogy to propose a mapping between the elastic sheet problem and the smectic liquid crystal problem which can enable a better understanding of wrinkling.

  • When particle-laden drops evaporate, coffee ring patterns form which can affect particle deposition. Here Davidsonet al. show that unlike previously investigated drops, the flows in drying drops of liquid crystals are driven by an increase in surface tension due to liquid crystal concentration.

  • Detailed imaging reveals the structure of a spherical ‘micelle’, self-assembled from cone-shaped molecules, and marks progress towards mimicking the natural assembly skills of biological systems.

  • Topologically distinct colloidal particles introduced into a nematic liquid crystal align and generate topology-constrained three-dimensional director fields and defects in the liquid crystal fluid that can be manipulated with a variety of methods, opening up a new area of exploration in the field of soft matter.
