The understanding and application of liquid crystals are among the great scientific and technological achievements of the twentieth century, with integrated electronics and liquid crystal displays combining to enable the portable computing revolution. As we enter the 21st century the study of liquid crystals offers unparalleled opportunities to advance the basic science and materials design of condensed matter, and to develop new liquid crystal applications. Liquid crystal structural themes are at the core of the effort to pursue supermolecular organization and self-assembly of complex materials. Novel device concepts and materials are forming the basis for for high-performance displays, as well as for advanced photonic devices and other non-display applications of liquid crystals. The Liquid Crystal Materials Research Center (LCMRC), an NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC), engages these opportunities as its principal activity. The LCMRC research program is based at the Boulder Campus of the University of Colorado, and directed by Noel Clark, Professor of Physics.
