DESCRIPTION:Polar order\, i.e.\, ferromagnetic or ferroelectric\, in 3D li
 quids is experimentally rarely observed. In this talk I will discuss the r
 eason for this and show two examples of how shape of constituents can prom
 ote polar order. The first example is a ferromagnetic liquid phase\, which
  emerges in a suspension of magnetic nanoplatelets in isotropic solvent as
  a result of platelets&rsquo\; shape. The second example is antiferroelect
 ric splay nematic phase\, which appears in materials made of wedge-shaped 
 molecules with large electric dipole moments.<br> Co-Authors: Darja Lisjak
