  • Defect annihilation and proliferation in active nematics 
    Giomi, Luca; Bowick, Mark J.; Ma, Xu; Marchetti, Maria Cristina (SISSA, 2013-03-19)
    Liquid crystals inevitably possess topological defect excitations generated through boundary conditions, applied fields or in quenches to the ordered phase. In equilibrium pairs of defects coarsen and annihilate as the ...
  • Polymorphism and bistability in adherent cells 
    Shiladitya Banerjee; Luca Giomi (SISSA, 2012-09-18)
    The optimal shapes attained by contractile cells on adhesive substrates are determined by the interplay between intracellular forces and adhesion with the extracellular matrix. We model the cell as a contractile film ...
