Abstract

Emulsions and colloids are fundamentally interesting but also have technological importance in industrial applications. In his Perspective, Joanny [see also Poulin et al . ( p. 1770 )] discusses results reported in the same issue on a new kind of colloidal interaction observed when water droplets are dispersed in a liquid-crystal solvent. This liquid-crystal emulsion provides a way to understand the formation and stability of defects in complex fluids.

5. Hedgehogs are point defects in a nematic liquid crystal where all directions are swept out on the unit sphere. The simplest type of hedgehog is the radial hedgehog in which the director points radially to the defect center. For a discussion of defects in nematic liquid crystals see: J. Prost and P. G. de Gennes The Physics of Liquid Crystals (Clarendon Oxford 1993).
