Liquid Crystals (LC) are widely deployed in display technology and optical fibres. From smartphones in your pockets to large screen TVs, LCs are everywhere, as this special state of matter has been ...

Conventionally, active metasurface scientists have mainly concentrated on altering the dielectric constant and permeability of the substrate, which usually leads to resonance effect and ohmic loss.

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 chiral ...

Researchers with the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have shown for the first time how to design the basic elements needed for logic operations using a kind of material ...

A soft robotic system uses liquid crystal elastomers to merge shape shifting, gripping, and color change, demonstrating fully ...

An international group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania found that liquid crystals can condense into amazing structures under appropriate circumstances. They can form filaments and ...

Fishy behaviour: clusters of skyrmions in a liquid crystal. (Courtesy: University of Colorado, Boulder) Physicists in the US have discovered that large clusters of skyrmions in a liquid crystal ...
