Optical resonators based on liquid crystals
, 2013 Mesogenic molecules can spontaneously organize to form liquid crystals with particular optical properties. Chiral nematic liquid crystals form one-dimensional structures with well-defined pitch which can be used as mirrors in a lasing setup.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Liquid‐phase transmission electron microscopy enables direct observation of nucleation and growth processes in solution. This review is dedicated to the remembrance of Helmut Cölfen and highlights recent studies on complex materials—oxides, biominerals, organic–inorganic crystals—which were central to his research activity. It summarizes key milestones,

On some important chapters in the history of liquid crystals
, 2013 Before 1910, the study of liquid crystals was dominated by Lehmann and the German school of chemists. The point of gravity then moved to France with Friedel as a leading figure.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Qu�telet-Type Interference from Liquid Crystal Polymer Dispersion Films
, 2013 [[abstract]]The Qu telet-type ring pattern is observed in liquid crystal polymer dispersion (LCPD) films. The clusters of the polymer network and LC domains with different director axes in the LCPD films serve as scatterers.

Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals: Physics and Applications
, 2019 Electrooptic modes with fast response and high contrast ratio are highly desirable in modern photonics and displays. Ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) are especially promising for fulfilling these demands by employing photoalignment technology in FLC ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The nanostructure, size, and function of mRNA‐loaded lipid nanoparticles are evaluated before drying, within polymer microneedles, and after rehydration. The results reveal the polymer and LNP loadings required to recover nanostructure and preserve the delivery performance in dry‐state formulations.
