Stimuli-responsive hydroxyapatite liquid crystal with macroscopically controllable ordering and magneto-optical functions

Liquid crystals comprising inorganic species are far less common than their organic-based counterparts. Here, the authors report a magneto-optically responsive liquid crystal based on nanorods of the biomineral hydroxyapatite, representing a new type of biologically-based, dynamic inorganic material...
