What are lyotropic liquid crystals? How are they used in drug development? Liquid crystals are state of matter that have properties of liquids and crystals. There are several types of liquid crystal ...

A hexagonal columnar liquid crystal phase was formed by pairing a porphyrin Au III cation and a pentacyanocyclopentadienide (PCCp⁻) anion in water, stabilized by triethylene glycol (TEG) chains.

Chirality is omnipresent in living organisms and nature. Chiral architectures can be found at a variety of hierarchical levels, ranging from atomic, molecular to supramolecular, macroscopic, and ...

Lyotropic liquid crystals exhibit a remarkable range of phases driven by the concentration and temperature of their components, with the biaxial nematic phase representing an especially intriguing ...
