Hierarchical architecture is of vital importance in soft materials. Focal conic domains (FCDs) of smectic liquid crystals, characterized by an ordered lamellar structure, attract intensive attention. Simultaneously tailoring the geometry and clustering characteristics of FCDs remains a challenge. Here, the 3D smectic layer origami via a 2D preprogrammed photoalignment film is accomplished. Full control...
Nature's art of manifesting hierarchical superstructures is always an unchallenged school of inspiration. In article number 1606671 by Wei Hu, Li‐Feng Chi, Yan‐Qing Lu, and co‐workers, various smectic focal conic domains, featured by layered structures with well‐controlled sizes, shapes, and orientations, as well as clustering characteristics, are presented. An intriguing metasurface‐like polarization‐dependent...
