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

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 ...

Robots and cameras of the future could be made of liquid crystals, thanks to a new discovery that significantly expands the potential of the chemicals already common in computer displays and digital ...

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

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 ...

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 paper is published in the journal Macromolecules. This advance represents a pioneering achievement in both asymmetric ...

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 ...
