Abstract
Local illumination with a light beam leads to thermo-orientational processes in a frustrated chiral nematic film with a free surface. Light-induced hydrodynamic flow and orientational structure create an adaptive platform for the collection, translation and rotation of suspended spherical microparticles. The demonstrated approach has potential applications in soft robotics, micro-object delivery systems, and other micro- and nanotechnologies.
