Colloidal cholesteric liquid crystal in spherical confinement

Confinement-induced organization of nanoparticles is utilized to generate new structures with novel optical or magnetic properties. Here, Li et al.show that colloidal liquid crystals formed by rod-like nanoparticles self-assemble into various geometries depending on the degree of spherical confineme...
