Read the Editorial for our Special Collection on Liquid Crystal Elastomers and Their Theory rdcu.be/eZ56h published by Journal of Elasticity
Our paper "Shape instabilities driven by topological defects in nematic polymer networks" adopts an elegant variational approach to model theoretically, for the first time, a wide range of topological defects in liquid crystalline networks

Excited to share our paper on the mathematical modelling of elephant trunk wrinkles, working with @langelamihai.bsky.social and @alaingoriely.bsky.social. We provide qualitative insight into surface wrinkles in elephant trunks based on nonlinear morphoelasticity. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1....
Beautiful new paper with Yang Liu and Alain Goriely, inspired by the work of Andrew K. Schulz
