An experimental <physicist> who coauthored the self-assembly of ordered <colloidal crystals> in a thin <nematic liquid crystal>. Particles distort the surrounding orientational order and create <topological defects>; sharing those distortions can bind neighboring particles. The observed structures depended on the type of local ordering, showing how a host material's defects can organize suspended particles into larger patterns.<Two-Dimensional Nematic Colloidal Crystals Self-Assembled by Topological Defects by Igor Muševič and others>[Abstract: confined nematic colloids and defect-mediated dipolar and quadrupolar assemblies]{ref}
