discovery of new nematic phases at thermodynamic equilibrium, although extremely rare …

The increasing demand for the multidimensional and dynamic control of light has spurred
the development of stimuli‐responsive, reconfigurable, and programmable optical systems …

Recent experimental realization of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystalline phases stimulated
material development and numerous experimental studies of these phases, guided by their …

We have structurally characterized the liquid crystal (LC) phase that can appear as an
intermediate state when a dielectric nematic, having polar disorder of its molecular dipoles …

The recently discovered ferroelectric nematic (NF) liquid-crystal phase exhibits a
spontaneous polarization field that is both orientationally fluid like a liquid crystal and large …

Spontaneous symmetry breaking and emergent polar order are each of fundamental
importance to a range of scientific disciplines, as well as generating rich phase behaviour in …

Liquid‐crystal materials exhibiting up to three nematic phases are reported. Dielectric
response measurements show that while the lower temperature nematic phase has …

The recently discovered ferroelectric nematic liquids incorporate to the functional
combination of fluidity, processability and anisotropic optical properties of nematic liquids …

Nematic liquid crystals have been known for more than a century, but it was not until the 60s–
70s that, with the development of room temperature nematics, they became widely used in …
