Abstract
We show that confining extensile nematics in three-dimensional (3D) channels leads to the emergence of two self-organized flow states with nonzero helicity. The first is a pair of braided antiparallel streams---this double helix occurs when the activity is moderate, anchoring negligible, and reduced temperature high. The second consists of axially aligned counter-rotating vortices---this grinder train arises between spontaneous axial streaming...
