A periodic dodecagonal supertiling by self-assembly of star-shaped molecules in the liquid crystalline state

Molecular tessellations are known in solid state systems and their formation is often induced or supported by a periodic surface lattice. Here we discover a complex tessellation on the 10 nm length scale, spontaneously formed in the highly dynamic liquid crystalline state. It is composed of overlapp...
