Iridescence in nematics: Photonic liquid crystals of nanoplates in absence of long-range periodicity.

abstract：:Bacteria commonly grow in densely populated surface-bound communities, termed biofilms, where they gain benefits including superior access to nutrients and resistance to environmental insults. The secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which bind bacterial collectives together, is ubiquitously associat...
