Liquid crystals (LCs) are omnipresent in living matter, whose chirality is an elegant and
distinct feature in certain plant tissues, the cuticles of crabs, beetles, arthropods, and …

Liquid crystals (LCs), as a promising branch of highly-sensitive, quick-response, and low-
cost materials, are widely applied to the detection of weak external stimuli and have …

Photonic crystals (PhCs) display photonic stop bands (PSBs) and at the edges of these
PSBs transport light with reduced velocity, enabling the PhCs to confine and manipulate …

Supramolecular and macromolecular functional helical superstructures are ubiquitous in
nature and display an impressive catalog of intriguing and elegant properties and …

Living organisms in nature have amazing control over their color, shape, and morphology in
response to environmental stimuli for camouflage, communication, or reproduction. Inspired …

We briefly review studies of liquid crystal films suspended in submillimeter size grids for
biosensing applications and beyond. Due to intense recent research, the sensitivity of liquid …

The quest for interesting properties and phenomena in liquid crystals toward their
employment in nondisplay application is an intense and vibrant endeavor. Remarkable …

Fast, real‐time detection of gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is an emerging
research field relevant to most aspects of modern society, from households to health …

Herein we describe a highly responsive optical biosensor based on dynamic complex liquid
crystal (LC) emulsions. These emulsions are simple to prepare and consist of immiscible …

Structural color colloidal sols of perovskite nanosheets were synthesized and were
immobilized in a polymer hydrogel film by in situ photopolymerization, leading to a novel …
