**Dithienylethene‐containing glassy nematic liquid crystals** (see Figure) have been synthesized, in which the dithienylethene core’s electronic transition moment is uniaxially aligned. Large changes in refractive index and optical birefringence could be induced in the solid state by photochemical m

Nematic fluids with polar order could be most useful new molecular materials. However, such ferroelectric liquid crystals have not been observed as yet. This paper describes the first computer simulations of a ferroelectric nematic phase made from simple tapered particles as shown in the picture and
