Liquid crystal elastomer shell actuators with negative order parameter

Liquid crystals (LCs) are nonsolids with long-range orientational order, described by a scalar order parameter [Formula: see text]. Despite the vast set of existing LC materials, one-third of the order parameter value range, (−1)/(2) < 〈P(2)〉 < 0, has until now been inaccessible. Here, we pres...
