<br/>Liquid crystals (LCs) represent a fascinating state of matter that combines order and mobility at different hierarchical levels, i.e., from nanoscale to macroscale or in other words from molecular level to macroscopic levels. The unique combination of order and mobility results in that LC is typically “soft” and responds to different external stimuli. The responsive nature and diversity of LCs provide tremendous opportunities as well as challenges for insights in fundamental science, and open the door to various applications. Conventional nematic LCs have become the quintessential materials of LC displays. With the LC displays ubiquitous in our daily life and annual more than $100 billion market, the research and development of LCs are moving rapidly beyond display applications and evolving into entirely new and fascinating scientific frontiers. In my talk, I will focus on our recent development and investigation on light-driven chiral liquid crystal nanostructures for dynamic photonics enabled by chiral molecular switches or motors.<br/>
