Flowing crystals glow

Nature Photonics volume 2, pages 593–594 (2008)Cite this article

The photonics applications of engineered liquid crystals extend far beyond their use in displays. High-density optical data storage, tunable lasers and metamaterials are just a few of the other opportunities.

This was the exciting message that Nature Photonics took home from the recent Light-Controlled Liquid Crystalline Complex Adaptive Materials (LC2CAM) International Workshop held in Boulder, Colorado, USA, from 6 to 10 August1.
