Cholesteric liquid crystal
Videos
Cholesteric liquid crystals, also known as chiral nematic liquid crystals, are a supramolecular assembly and a subclass of liquid crystal characterized by their chirality. Contrary to achiral liquid c
The classic fingerprint texture of a cholesteric liquid crystal. The distance between dark fringes is half the cholesteric pitch.

Lyotropic liquid crystal
Videos
Lyotropic liquid crystals result when amphiphiles, which are both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, dissolve into a solution that behaves both like a liquid and a solid crystal. This liquid crystalline mes
