Double-twist cylinders in liquid crystalline cholesteric blue phases observed by transmission electron microscopy

Cholesteric blue phases are liquid crystalline phases in which the constituent rod-like molecules spontaneously form three-dimensional, helical structures. Despite theoretical predictions that they are composed of cylindrical substructures within which the liquid crystal molecules are doubly twisted...
