The NOVA group published an article in Advanced Optical Materials titled Hierarchical Twist: Chirality Across Scales in Cellulose Cholesterics, addressing the chirality of cellulose liquid crystalline phases to gain a deeper understanding of their structural organisation and properties. Revealing the complex self-assembly of cellulose and understanding the behaviour of its chiral organisation are crucial for the preparation of cellulose-based liquid crystalline elastomers.
