Researchers have been developing computers that deploy light (photons) rather than electricity to power storage and ...

Researchers have developed a novel way for liquid crystals to retain information about their movement. Using this method could advance technologies like memory devices and sensors, as well as pave the ...

If you were able to visualize the passage of time, it may appear as looping ribbons of color, these fragments ribboning and ...

Scientists have unveiled a new principle of motion in the microworld, where objects can move in a directed manner simply by changing their sizes periodically within a substance known as liquid crystal ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

What are Liquid Crystal Nanoparticles? Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties of liquid crystals with the advantages of nanoparticles.

Scaling up perovskites for potential widespread use in solar cells has been a challenge due to arising defects. Yi Yang, postdoctoral fellow; Ted Sargent, Lynn Hopton Davis and Greg Davis Professor of ...

The field of liquid crystals and photoluminescent materials continues to expand, merging the distinctive self‐organisation of liquid crystalline phases with the tunable optical properties of ...

Ions influence conductivity and mobility in molecular liquid crystals, affecting electrical behavior, stability, and performance in both established and emerging technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...
