Then we asked if these liquid crystals actually have an effect on the cells. We grew the bacterial cells under different conditions, and only in the condition when the liquid crystals were present ...

instead of a cell, let's just make a small droplet and see what happens. Our team designed an experimental setup where tiny droplets of chiral nematic liquid crystals were subjected to precise ...

Periodic arrays of carbon nanotubes can be grown from catalytic dots deposited on a surface by electron-beam lithography, but this is an expensive and slow process. Zhifeng Ren and colleagues have ...

In 1888, liquid crystals were identified by Austrian botanist Friedrich Reinitzer and German physicist Otto Lehmann. Studying the cholesterol in carrots using a temperature-controlled polarizing ...

By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...

By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers have successfully achieved the living polymerization of polymers with aligned helical structures. In this process, optically ...

Being abundant in nature, colloids find increasingly important applications in science and technology, ranging from direct probing of kinetics in crystals and glasses to fabrication of ...

We’d honestly never heard of this particular design, dubbed “LCCS”, or liquid crystal color shutter, until [Technology Connections]’ partial teardown of the JVC monitor and explanation of ...

Busan researchers develop self-expanding smart fibers for clothing and robotics Innovative fiber technology offers new ...

Liqxtal’s Cutting-Edge Liquid Crystal Technologies Liqxtal® Graph, Liqxtal® Dim and Liqxtal® Pro-Eye Liqxtal focuses on the development of liquid crystal optical technologies, dedicated to ...
