Abstract: The recent discovery of spontaneously polar nematic liquid crystals—so-called ferroelectric nematics—more than a century after the first discussions about their possible existence—has attracted large interest, both from fundamental scientific and applicational points of view. However,… read more here.

Abstract: This paper makes a rigorous case for considering the continuum derived by the homogenization of extensive quantities as a polar medium in which the balances of angular momentum and energy contain contributions due to body… read more here.
