Morphogenesis of liquid crystal topological defects during the nematic-smectic A phase transition

Defects in liquid crystals play a central role in determining their structural and dynamic properties, whilst it is challenging to characterize the defects at a molecule level. Here, Gimet al. trace the evolution pathway of defects during a phase transition from a nematic to a smectic state.
