Maiti S, Taghavi M, Chaudhari P, Roh S, Cohen I, Apsel A, et al.
ACS Sens . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40059347
The surface-induced ordering of liquid crystals (LC) has been harnessed to detect a wide range of chemical and biological stimuli. In most sensor designs, the information-rich response of the LC...

Jani P, Colville M, Park S, Ha Y, Paszek M, Abbott N
Soft Matter . 2024 Dec; 21(3):463-475. PMID: 39717887
Recent studies have reported that the overexpression of MUC1 glycoproteins on cell surfaces changes the morphology of cell plasma membranes and increases the blebbing of vesicles from them, supporting the...

Bao N, Szilvasi T, Tripathi A, Franklin T, Wolter T, Shu H, et al.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces . 2024 Dec; 17(1):2425-2435. PMID: 39708054
Liquid crystals (LCs), when interfaced with chemically functionalized surfaces, can amplify a range of chemical and physical transformations into optical outputs. While metal cation-binding sites on surfaces have been shown...

Jain A, Pal S, Li S, Abbott N, Yang R
Sci Adv . 2024 Nov; 10(45):eadp5573. PMID: 39504375
We elucidate a previously unknown synthesis pathway that leads to polymeric nanospheres, orientation-controlled microgels, or microspheroids via single-step polymerization of divinylbenzene (DVB) using initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) in liquid...

Liu Q, Wang W, Sinhmar H, Griniasty I, Kim J, Pelster J, et al.
Nat Mater . 2024 Sep; 24(1):109-115. PMID: 39261721
Shape morphing is vital to locomotion in microscopic organisms but has been challenging to achieve in sub-millimetre robots. By overcoming obstacles associated with miniaturization, we demonstrate microscopic electronically configurable morphing...

Li C, Tang X, Yu X, Atzin N, Song Z, Chen C, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Aug; 121(36):e2405168121. PMID: 39196620
Multidimensional solitons are prevalent in numerous research fields. In orientationally ordered soft matter system, three-dimensional director solitons exemplify the localized distortion of molecular orientation. However, their precise manipulation remains challenging...

Tang X, Atzin N, Mozaffari A, Das S, Abbott N, de Pablo J
ACS Nano . 2024 Apr; 18(16):10768-10775. PMID: 38597971
Solitons in nematic liquid crystals facilitate the rapid transport and sensing in microfluidic systems. Little is known about the elementary conditions needed to create solitons in nematic materials. In this...

Wang X, Yang Y, Roh S, Hormozi S, Gianneschi N, Abbott N
Adv Mater . 2024 Feb; 36(28):e2311311. PMID: 38422370
A key challenge underlying the design of miniature machines is encoding materials with time- and space-specific functional behaviors that require little human intervention. Dissipative processes that drive materials beyond equilibrium...

Yu H, Gold J, Wolter T, Bao N, Smith E, Zhang H, et al.
Adv Mater . 2024 Feb; 36(23):e2309605. PMID: 38331028
Microtubules and catalytic motor proteins underlie the microscale actuation of living materials, and they have been used in reconstituted systems to harness chemical energy to drive new states of organization...

Atzin N, Mozaffari A, Tang X, Das S, Abbott N, de Pablo J
Phys Rev Lett . 2023 Nov; 131(18):188101. PMID: 37977640
Solitons in liquid crystals have generated considerable interest. Several hypotheses of varying complexity have been advanced to explain how they arise, but consensus has not emerged yet about the underlying...
