Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

Phase diagram of the large-scale patterns ( L = 212 d , corresponding to the field of view in Fig. 1a ) with varying filament flexibilities (measured by flexure number ℱ ; vertical axis) and densities (horizontal axis). Filaments are colour coded according to the orientation of the bond vectors between beads. We observe the ring-like self-organization of rigid filaments ( ℱ = 5), spatial coexistence of chiral rings and polar bands in the regime of semiflexible filaments ( ℱ = 40) and disordered patterns with flexible filaments ( ℱ = 200).
