The scientists are working to obtain a patent for their discovery and plan to further test it with different types of liquid crystal molecules and solidified polymers made of these molecules.

Scientists from Siberian Federal University ... The researchers examined the dependence of structure properties on the size of liquid crystal drops in a sheet in particular. The experiments ...

Perovskite solar panels with liquid crystal technology won't be hitting the market any time soon since these are just initial tests. However, Tech Xplore revealed that early results are promising ...

Substances with the properties of both liquids and crystals are used in modern technology. Scientists at South Ural State University (SUSU) have discovered a new substance with the same properties.

By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers have successfully achieved the living polymerization of polymers with aligned helical structures. In this process, optically ...

This time, a group of scientists managed to create a shape-shifting liquid metal that can transition between the solid and liquid state. The new liquid is reminiscent of the liquid shapeshifting ...

So far, Caffrey has found that a combination of detergent, water, lipids, and protein can form a liquid-crystal phase, which he calls a cubic mesophase. 1 Adding salt removes the water, forcing ...

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.
