What are Liquid Crystal Nanoparticles? Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties of liquid crystals with the advantages of nanoparticles.

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 ...

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 ...

The light pushes the dye molecules, and they twist the liquid crystal molecules around. This interaction initiates a series of motion waves that propagate through the material, producing so-called ...

Creating quantum light just became easier thanks to liquid crystals like the ones found in television screens. Team member Vitaliy Sultanov at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in ...

Scientists observe a visible time crystal for the first time, revealing a phase of matter that repeats patterns through time.

A small strip of rubbery material sits motionless on a lab bench at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. A researcher aims a laser at one end, and the strip curls, lifts, and begins to crawl ...
