Liquid crystals for fast switching devices

"newly synthesized liquid-crystalline material that promises applications in optoelectronics. Simple rod-shaped molecules with a single center of chirality self-assemble into helical structures at room temperature... extremely short pitch at only about 100 nanometres which would enable applications with particularly fast switching processes"
