We demonstrate the nanostructure and filament formation of a novel liquid crystal phase of a dimeric mesogen below the twist-bend nematic phase. The new fibre-forming phase is distinguished by a short-correlated smectic order combined with an additional nanoscale periodicity that is not associated with density modulation.
