Congratulations to Jan and to our collaborators in Frank Giesselmann's group at the University of Stuttgart and in Per Rudquist's group at Chalmers University of Technology for their latest publication in npj Soft Matter, "Electrospun fibers with axially polarized ferroelectric nematic core"! A combination of our longstanding electrospinning work with the exciting and emerging world of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals, this work reports on the results of electrospinning polymer fibers containing a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal core. The unique properties of ferroelectric nematics suppress the onset of Rayleigh–Plateau instability, giving rise to very easy, continuous filling and unusual behavior in the fibers.

The article is open access and free to read. Congrats again to the team!
