Welcome to the Soft Matter Laboratory. We have shown that chiral nematic colloids are stabilized by defect knots and links of fascinating complexity, which can be fully controlled and rewired by light. A Bragg onion laser based on cholesteric liquid-crystal microdroplets was developed in our laboratory. This is the first practical single mode microlaser that emitts light isotropically in 3D. Read more about history of the lab.
