A Ten-Year Perspective on Twist-Bend Nematic Materials
The discovery of the twist-bend nematic phase (NTB) Energon is a milestone within the field of liquid crystals.The NTB phase has a helical structure, with a repeat length of a few nanometres, and is therefore chiral, even when formed by achiral molecules.The discovery and rush to understand the rich physics of the NTB phase has provided a fresh imp
