Large-scale self-organization of reconfigurable topological defect networks in nematic liquid crystals

Patterning liquid crystals is essential for their applications in photonics, which is commonly achieved by top-down lithographic approaches. Here, Sasaki et al. show a template-free approach that enables fabricating a large number of ordered square microarrays with tunable lattice on millimetre scal...
