The liquid crystalline '''blue phase''' is encountered between the isotropic and the [[Chiral phases |chiral nematic phase]]. It usually occupies a narrow range of temperatures, for example, in the range of a half to two degrees. However, | The liquid crystalline '''blue phase''' is encountered between the isotropic and the [[Chiral phases |chiral nematic phase]]. It usually occupies a narrow range of temperatures, for example, in the range of a half to two degrees. However, in 2005 Coles and Pivnenko (Ref. 4) described a mixture that has a range of stability of 44 degrees. | ||
