Abstract
As many as 30 years ago P. G. de Gennes wrote in the first edition of his book The Physics of Liquid Crystals [1]: “The dual aspects of a nematic phase (liquid-like but uniaxial) are exhibited most spectacularly in the NMR spectrum; the uniaxial symmetry causes certain line splittings, which are absent in the conventional isotropic liquid phase. On the other hand, the lines are relatively narrow; this implies rapid molecular motions and is a natural consequence of the fluidity”.
