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, ...

At CES, smart glasses were unveiled that replace multifocal lenses with real-time focus adjustment, no cameras or screens, ...

Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) represent a rapidly emerging class of materials that uniquely combine the intrinsic ionic conductivity of ionic liquids with the anisotropic, self‐organising properties of ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created the first time crystal that humans can actually see, using liquid crystals that swirl into never-ending patterns when illuminated by light ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Color plays a crucial role in our daily lives, from the clothes we wear to the screens we gaze at. Yet, traditional methods of creating color, which rely on chemical pigments and ...

(Nanowerk News) Liquid crystals are all around us, from cell phone screens and video game consoles to car dashboards and medical devices. Run an electric current through liquid crystal displays (LCDs) ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Researchers have developed a novel way for liquid crystals to retain information about their movement, suggests a new study. Using this method could advance technologies like memory ...

Your science textbook likely told you that matter exists in four states. You know them as solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. For generations, this understanding formed the foundation of physics. Now, a ...

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 ...

Liquid crystals (LCs) occupy a unique state of matter that bridges the gap between conventional liquids and solid crystals. Their exceptional ability to combine fluidity with long-range molecular ...
