Liquid Crystal Nano-Flowers

The nanoscale structures of liquid crystals are rarely more exotic than that of the sponge phases of bent-core molecules, visualized here in an electron microscope image made by researchers at the Liquid Crystal Materials Research (MRSEC) Center of the University of Colorado, Boulder. The image shows a plant stalk-like network that gives the appearance of a grayscale photo of dense tropical foliage, but here the stalk
