After watching [Ben Krasnow]’s efforts to build a liquid crystal display, we can easily see why the suits thought what they did. It’s an amazing engineering feat. Before building his own ...

A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign describes a breakthrough in the field of organic ...

In 1888, liquid crystals were identified by Austrian botanist Friedrich Reinitzer and German physicist Otto Lehmann. Studying the cholesterol in carrots using a temperature-controlled polarizing ...

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.

These phages have been shown to form aggregates of liquid crystals in biofilms, but we wanted to understand this process, following on from work of several of our colleagues around the world.

The POSTECH research team has developed a synthesis method that precisely controls the size and shape of PNCs using a liquid crystal (LC) as an antisolvent in the LARP method. LC is an ...

The optical properties of liquid crystals have been a subject of study for many years now, with previous papers investigating second harmonic generation in ferroelectric smectic liquid crystals being ...

Many things that are interesting in science and engineering are shape optimization problems,” said Tim Atherton. Here, a chiral liquid crystal membrane simulated with Morpho software.

The demand for high-speed internet is growing fast, with technologies like self-driving cars, 6G mobile networks, and quantum ...
