Interest in a class of new class of liquid crystal materials referred to as banana liquid crystals is presently very high among the chemistry, physics and liquid crystal device community. A workshop to be held in the Fall of 2002 will be hosted by the Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Materials Research Center, an NSF MRSEC at the University of Colorado at Boulder to address important and timely research issues that have recently emerged. This will include discussing and agreeing on a much needed classification system to replace the existing convention based on order of discovery. The funds will be used to assist junior faculty, post-docs, and graduate students to attend and present their own research. The liquid crystal community continues to have direct impact on education and the development of new materials for technological advances of high significance to society. The latter include the development of novel electro optic devices of high commercial interest.

目前，化学、物理和液晶器件界对一类被称为香蕉液晶的新型液晶材料的兴趣非常高。2002年秋季，美国科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的铁电液晶材料研究中心（NSF MRSEC）将举办一次研讨会，讨论最近出现的重要和及时的研究问题。这将包括讨论和商定一个急需的分类系统，以取代现有的基于发现顺序的公约。这些资金将用于协助初级教师、博士后和研究生参加并展示他们自己的研究。液晶界继续对教育和新材料的发展产生直接影响，对社会的技术进步具有重要意义。后者包括开发具有高商业价值的新型电光器件。
