Flüssigkristalle, existieren in diversen Strukturen, die viele Möglichkeiten für nanotechnologische Anwendungen bieten. Die Struktur einer bestimmten flüssigkristallinen Phase, der Smektisch‐Q‐Phase, konnte allerdings über 35 Jahre nicht aufgeklärt werden. Jetzt ist es soweit: X. B. Zeng, G. Ungar, C. Tschierske et al. beschreiben in ihrer Zuschrift auf S. 2885 die verwirrende Anordnung orthogonaler...
The so‐called smectic‐Q (SmQ) liquid crystal phase was discovered in 1983 in rod‐like molecules, but its structure remain unclear in spite of numerous attempts to solve it. Herein, we report what we believe to be the solution: A unique bicontinuous phase that is non‐cubic and is made up of orthogonal twisted columns with planar 4‐way junctions. While SmQ had only been observed in chiral compounds,...
