Hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals (HBLCs) represent a fascinating class of soft materials that integrate the dynamic characteristics of liquid crystals with the directionality and reversibility of ...

Compressible nematic liquid crystal flows represent a class of complex fluid dynamics that combine the conventional features of compressible fluids with the anisotropic properties of nematic liquid ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid crystals (LCs) are a distinct state of matter exhibiting properties between crystalline solids and isotropic liquids. Their partially ordered structure gives rise to unique ...

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 ...

LCD technology utilizes the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. These crystals do not emit light directly but use a backlight or reflector to produce images in ...

This schematic illustrates the MALIO software, a machine learning structure analysis tool designed to analyze and distinguish the local structures of BP I and BP II liquid crystal phases. By ...

Adapted from an article run in CU Boulder Today by Daniel Strain A team led by RASEI Fellow Ivan Smalyukh has discovered a new type of liquid crystal that exists in perpetual, rhythmic motion, ...

A research group led by Dr. Jialei He of Nagoya University's Graduate School of Engineering has developed a method for processing cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) into micrometer-sized spherical ...

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 ...
