Abstract: Abstract A more fundamental understanding of non-equilibrium phenomena involving fluids confined to restricted geometries presents indeed a difficult challenge. Here we explore a novel approach to describe the collective diffusion of Brownian particles confined to… read more here.

Abstract: The formation and transformation of defects in confined liquid crystals are fascinating fundamental problems in soft matter. Here, we use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study ellipsoidal liquid crystals (LCs) confined in a spherical cavity,… read more here.

Abstract: Chromonic liquid crystals have recently received a lot of attention due to their spontaneous self-assembly in supramolecular columnar structures that, depending on their concentration in water, align to form a nematic liquid crystalline phase. The… read more here.
