We here report a new generation of liquid-crystalline (LC) assemblies.1-4 These LC materials are designed based on nanostructured molecular assemblies forming smectic, columnar, and bicontinuous cubic structures based on inermolcular ineractions such as ionic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and pi-pi interactins. They exhibit ionic, electronic, photonic, and separation functions. For exmple, they are used as electrolytes for lithium batteries and solar cells.1,2 They are also applied for water treatment membranes to remove ions and harmful agents.3,4 We also developed LC organic/inorganic compoitess.5 Bioinspired synthesis of hydroxyapatite leads to the formation of nanorod composites exhibiting LC properties. These self-organized materials have great potentials as functional materials in the field of energy, environment, and healthcare. (1) T. Kato, M. Yoshio, T. Ichikawa et al., Nat. Rev.
