This review presents experimental realization and behaviour of the ferromagnetic nematic
phase, which is observed in different suspensions of magnetic nanoplatelets. After a general …

Control of structures in soft materials with long-range order forms the basis for applications
such as displays, liquid-crystal biosensors, tunable lenses, distributed feedback lasers …

Solitons attract a great deal of interest in many fields, ranging from optics to fluid mechanics,
cosmology, particle physics and condensed matter. However, solitons of these very different …

Solitons in liquid crystals have received increasing attention due to their importance in
fundamental physical science and potential applications in various fields. The study of …

A phenomenological theory of magnetic states in noncentrosymmetric tetragonal
antiferromagnets is developed, which has to include homogeneous and inhomogeneous …

The planar spin glass pattern is widely known for its inherent randomness, resulting from the
geometrical frustration. As such, develo** physical unclonable functions (PUFs)—which …

In practically all branches of physics, different types of solitons, with a number of them
enjoying topological protection, are found. Here we explore how one-and two-dimensional …

A dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal smart window with a haze-free opaque state is
demonstrated. We designed a random stripe pattern in the cholesteric phase, known as the …

Spatial branching processes are ubiquitous in nature, yet the mechanisms that drive their
growth may vary significantly from one system to another. In soft matter physics, chiral …

Energy conservation, particularly in buildings, has become a critical focus area. Among the
various components of a building, windows play a significant role in the exchange of heat …
