HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Alfredo Sciortino from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research work: Polarity and chirality control of an active fluid by passive nematic defects, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 22/01/2022
- what: The authors show that a self-assembled, passive nematic is ideally suited to control the pattern formation process of an active fluid. The particles` orientation is shown according to the coloured wheel, indicating that the information about the polarity is encoded in the field. e, To further confirm the result, the Q-tensor approach focuses on the role of +1/2 defects.
