Chiral symmetry breaking and surface faceting in chromonic liquid crystal droplets with giant elastic anisotropy

Confined liquid crystals (LC) provide a unique platform for technological applications and for the study of LC properties, such as bulk elasticity, surface anchoring, and topological defects. In this work, lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs) are confined in spherical droplets, and their dire...
