Liquid crystal physics

a nematic phase of bent molecules in which the director forms a nanoscale heliconical structure with spontaneous twist and bend.

In liquid crystal physics, twist-bend nematic phase refers to a nematic phase of bent molecules in which the director forms a nanoscale heliconical structure with spontaneous twist and bend. This meaning comes from Dozov (2001) in Europhysics Letters (EPL).[1]
