Biophysical Journal, 2014 SignificanceWe propose a class of active matter, the living liquid crystal (LLC), representing motile rod-shaped bacteria placed in water-based nontoxic liquid crystal. Long-range orientational order of the liquid crystal and the swimming activity of bacteria demonstrate a strong coupling that dramatically alters individual and collective bacterial ...

Ferroelectric liquid crystals [PDF]
Journal de Physique Lettres, 1975 A general symmetry argument is presented, and experiments on newly synthesized p-decyloxybenzylidene p'-amino 2-methyl butyl cinnamate are described, demonstrating that chiral smectic C and H liquid crystals are ferroelectric. Some of the properties of this new class of ferro-electrics are discussed.
