Active Nematic Colloids For Microrobotics And Materials Assembly
A material mixture (active colloids immersed in nematic liquid crystals) that act as microrobots for directed assembly and micromanipulation of passive colloidal particles. Problem: Colloids interact with areas of distortion, such as with walls or with defects in the environment such as sharp edges and can become trapped along disclination lines in...

Multistable elastic pixels (MEPs) for reversible programming of optical properties
­Two-dimensional materials patterned with colloidal pixels that can be actuated by external forces (such as electromagnetic fields) for stable switching of optical properties. Problem: Current reversible metasurfaces either cannot be programmed for specific functionalities or are difficult to control. Ideal metamaterials comprising discrete,...
