I enjoyed reading the article, “A Century of Chemistry and of C&EN” in the Aug. 7/14, 2023, issue of C&EN (page 18). I wanted to mention one development that was not covered in the piece. In 1966, my ...

Liquid crystals are condensed-matter systems that exhibit phases with orientational order of constituent anisotropic molecules while retaining partial fluidity characteristic of liquids. Depending on ...

Under the right conditions, liquid crystals condense into astonishing structures, spontaneously generating filaments and flattened discs that can transport material from one place to another, much ...
