Splay Nematic Phase
Different liquid crystalline phases with long-range orientational but not positional order, so-called nematic phases, are scarce. New nematic phases are rarely discovered, and such an event inevitably generates much interest. Here, we describe a transition from a uniaxial to a novel nematic phase ch...
