In the past decade, much evidence has been provided for an unusually low cost for bend deformations in the nematic phase of bent-core mesogens and bimesogens (liquid crystal dimers) having a bent shape on average. Recently, an analogous effect was ob

Here we discuss the use of deuteriated probe molecules in NMR studies of the nematic (N) and twist-bend nematic (NTB) phases formed by the generic liquid crystal dimer CB7CB. The key properties of three probes dissolved in the NTB phase investigated

The biological light-harvesting process offers an unlimited source of inspiration. The high level of control, adaptation capability, and efficiency challenge humankind to create artificial biomimicking nanoarchitectures with the same performances to

The chirality transfer in liquid crystals induced by two helical perylenequinones (namely, the natural compounds cercosporin and phleichrome) was investigated by integrating measurements of helical twisting power with a conformational analysis by DFT

The lipid bilayer is a flexible matrix that is able to adapt in response to the perturbation induced by inclusions, such as peptides and proteins. Here we use molecular dynamics simulations with a coarse-grained model to investigate the effect of a h

Recent nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics (NEMD) simulations revealed preferential orientation, induced by a temperature gradient, in fluids of uncharged dumbbell-like particles. The magnitude of this phenomenon, called thermo-orientation, was found t

The existing microscopic theories for elasticity of nematics are challenged by recent findings on systems, whether bent molecules or semiflexible polymers, which do not comply with the model of rigid rodlike particles. Here, we propose an extension o

Biomembranes, which are made of a lipid bilayer matrix where proteins are embedded or attached, constitute a physical barrier for cell and its internal organelles. With regard to the distribution of their molecular components, biomembranes are both l
