The lyotropic cholesteric liquid crystal phase developed by suspensions of cellulose
nanocrystals (CNCs) has come increasingly into focus from numerous directions over the …

Spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking is an efficient way to obtain homogeneously chiral
agents, pharmaceutical ingredients and materials. It is also in the focus of the discussion …

We demonstrate bioenabled crack-free chiral nematic films prepared via a unidirectional
flow of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in the capillary confinement. To facilitate the uniform …

Using dynamic light scattering, we study orientational fluctuation modes in the nematic
phase of a self-assembled lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal (LCLC) disodium cromoglycate …

The presumed ground state of a nematic fluid confined in a cylindrical geometry with planar
anchoring corresponds to that of an axial configuration, wherein the director, free of …

Supramolecular chirality typically originates from either chiral molecular building blocks or
external chiral stimuli. Generating chirality in achiral systems in the absence of a chiral input …

Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are formed by achiral molecules with large dipole
moments. Their three-dimensional orientational order is described as unidirectionally polar …

An experimental and theoretical study of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs)
confined in cylinders with degenerate planar boundary conditions elucidates LCLC director …

Compared to isotropic liquids, orientational order of nematic liquid crystals makes their
rheological properties more involved, and thus requires fine control of the flow parameters to …

The difference in the crystal structure and growth kinetics of microtubes formed from l-and d-
enantiomers of diphenylalanine dipeptide is investigated both experimentally and …
