Programming emergent symmetries with saddle-splay elasticity

Liquid crystals are used for devices with increasingly complex geometries which makes it important to understand the influence of deformation. Xia et al. measure the poorly investigated saddle-splay elastic constant by means of surface patterning and simulation for programming emergent symmetries.
