We conduct a systematic exploration of the energy landscape of vesicle morphologies within
the framework of the Helfrich model. Vesicle shapes are determined by minimizing the …

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 …

Guiding and dynamically modulating topological defects are critical challenges in defect
engineering of liquid crystals. Here, we employ molecular dynamics simulations to …

A nematic liquid crystal, a phase of matter composed of rodlike molecules, exhibits a
tendency towards uniform molecular alignment. Bodies inserted into such a fluid can disturb …

This chapter explores recent advances in colloid and interfacial phenomena involving liquid
crystals (LCs). In comparison to studies of colloids and interfaces with isotropic solvents, the …
