Condensed Matter Seminar: Microfluidic Pathways towards Topological Defect Templates
Professor Anupam Sengupta, MIT
Liquid crystals (LCs) are mesogenic phases of matter which combine liquid fluidity with crystalline solid properties.The material anisotropy allows us to explore LCs as complex functional materials for microfluidics…
