Photonic circuits, which manipulate light to perform various computational tasks, have become essential tools for a range of ...

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 ...

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.

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.

In a leap forward for materials science, a multi-institutional team of researchers has developed a pioneering method of 3D ...

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 ...

Overall, the researchers demonstrated that achiral liquid crystal pathways show a 20% improvement in efficiency and ...

LLNL researchers are pioneering a coaxial DIW method for 3D printing cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs).

Achiral liquid crystal pathways enhance efficiency by 20% and stability three-fold, while chiral structures increase efficiency by 56% and stability 50 times, offering promising prospects for ...

More than $2 billion has been spent over the past 15 years in trying to develop the technology and infrastructure behind liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) displays. After a fitful start ...
