Hexadecapolar colloids
Colloidal systems can form bulk phases such as liquid and crystals, but they also exhibit interesting behaviours that have no atomic analogues. Here, by dispersing solid polymer microspheres in a nematic liquid crystal, Senyuk et al. demonstrate spontaneous formation of hexadecapolar nematic colloid...

| Sumario: | Colloidal systems can form bulk phases such as liquid and crystals, but they also exhibit interesting behaviours that have no atomic analogues. Here, by dispersing solid polymer microspheres in a nematic liquid crystal, Senyuk et al. demonstrate spontaneous formation of hexadecapolar nematic colloids. |
