Although LCs are traditionally processed in thin films, their confinement within micrometre‐sized droplets has recently revealed new properties and functions, paving the way for next‐generation soft responsive materials. These recent findings have unlocked a wealth of unprecedented applications in photonics (e.g. reflectors, lasing materials), sensing (e.g. biomolecule and pathogen detection), soft robotics (e.g. micropumps, artificial muscles), and beyond. This Minireview focuses on recent developments in LC emulsion designs and highlights a variety of novel potential applications. Perspectives on the opportunities and new directions for implementing LC emulsions in future innovative technologies are also provided. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E47-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/HORIZON EUROPE/101062667/EU/Smart Complex Emulsions: A Versatile Approach to Opto-Electronics and Sensors/SMARTDROPS info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/RYC2021-031154-I info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 16.1 2023 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 14 / 231 = 0.061 2023 Q1 T1 5.3 2023 Chemistry (miscellaneous) 2023 Q1 Catalysis 2023 Q1 26.6 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (2023), e202308857 [12 pp.] Angew.
