Inside a lab in South Korea, a rainbow-colored glint caught the eye of a graduate student. This gleam is the product of ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
