Portable, intuitive wearable devices have been sought after in recent years. Despite the flexibility and miniaturization of current electronic devices, the power supply and complex structural design ...
Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology demonstrated a breakthrough in holographic polymer nanocomposites using the liquid crystal E6M. This method marks a major breakthrough in ...
A team at the University of Colorado Boulder has designed new kinds of liquid crystals that mirror the complex structures of some solid crystals—a major step forward in building flowing materials that ...
Indium is a critical metal extensively used in the electronics industry, particularly in the manufacture of liquid crystal displays (LCDs). The increasing consumption of these devices has led to a ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Holography, the technique of using light to reconstruct three-dimensional images, has long captured the imagination of scientists and the public alike. By recording and later ...
The liquid crystals used in displays nowadays are usually in a nematic phase, i.e. a liquid-like state of almost parallel oriented molecules. However, there is another liquid crystal phase which has a ...
Nematic materials are made of elongated molecules that align in a preferred direction, but, like in a fluid, are spaced out irregularly. The best-known nematic materials are liquid crystals, which are ...
I enjoyed reading the article, “A Century of Chemistry and of C&EN” in the Aug. 7/14, 2023, issue of C&EN (page 18). I wanted to mention one development that was not covered in the piece. In 1966, my ...
Researchers at CU Boulder’s Soft Materials Research Center (SMRC) have discovered an elusive phase of matter, first proposed more than 100 years ago and sought after ever since. Nematic liquid ...
