Abstract Asymmetry is essential for function—from the chiral molecules of life to the directed motion of micromachines. Yet encoding persistent asymmetries into the dynamics of synthetic systems typically requires time-varying external fields or complex feedback mechanisms. Here, we show that static geometry alone can program asymmetric colloidal motion by exploiting topological defects in liquid crystals.
