Three-dimensional positioning and control of colloidal objects utilizing engineered liquid crystalline defect networks

Topological defects in liquid crystals not only affect the optical and rheological properties of the host, but can also act as scaffolds in which to trap nano or micro-sized colloidal objects. The creation of complex defect shapes, however, often involves confining the liquid crystals in curved geom...
