  • Relaxation of liquid crystals is crucial in a broad area, e.g. biomimicry and stimuli-responsive material design. Here Khadem et al explore distinct relaxations, reveal the corresponding physics and propose a novel method for estimating viscoelastic properties without applying external fields.

  • Tactoids, consisting of micro-confined liquid crystalline colloids with self-selected shape, bear both fundamental and technological significance. The authors show that the shape relaxation of tactoids follows an exponential decay and develop a model to predict this out-of-the-equilibrium process.

  • Tactoids are liquid crystal droplets with nearly vanishing interfacial tension. Almohammadi et al. show using a microfluidic focusing device how to manipulate them gently enough to facilitate the study of amyloid liquid crystal phase transitions subject to non-equilibirum forcing and shape changes.
