Ferroelectric nematics, recently discovered, exhibit spontaneous polarization and nonlinear optical properties comparable to ferroelectric solids, while being fluid. This unique combination of fluidity, i.e. tunability and processability, and polarity unlocks exciting...

Microfluidics is the science and technology that studies the behaviour of fluids in confined geometries. These can be simple, such as straight channels, or they can be of arbitrarily complex shapes, representing a more realistic model of similar systems found in...

Colloidal active matter are systems of hundreds of microscopic particles driven out-of-equilibrium by external fields. They display non-trivial spontaneous collective organisation into static and dynamic patterns that can be controlled by the driving field. This...

Strongly-correlated materials, or the materials, in which Coulomb interaction between the electrons cannot be neglected, became of great importance for technology and basic science. They exhibit a rich variety of exciting properties, such as metal-insulator...
