NEUMATIC LIQUID COLLISION

Introduction to Neumatic Colloids Nematic colloids are materials with perpendicular surface anchoring embedded in planar nematic liquid crystal (NLC) cells. Topological defects, such as point defects and disclination lines, are a necessary consequence of broken symmetry in the system. In nematic liquid crystals (NLCs), defects manifest as isolated points and disclination lines, which can form … Read more

SHELL-ter

Concept We aim to design an environmental responsive facade that provides shelter for users in public spaces.
