Bottom-up coarse-grained simulations of electric-field-induced biaxiality and switching dynamics in liquid crystals of board-like molecules.

Electric fields can alter the orientational symmetry of liquid crystals, driving the emergence of biaxial order with potential relevance for next-generation electro-optical devices. Here, we present a coarse-grained (CG) model for a liquid crystal of board-like mesogens that enables a direct connection with our previou...
