Liquid crystals, the same phase-shifting materials used to display information on cell phones, monitors and other electronic equipment, can also be used to report in real time on the differentiation ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid crystals displays (LCDs) are widely used for laptops, smartphones, tablets etc. Typically, an electric field applied across a thin layer of liquid crystals changes their ...

You'd think there's nothing surprising left to discover about water. After all, researchers have been studying its properties for centuries.

Cholesteric liquid crystal layers aid in electric generation without loss of clarity, according to Science Daily.

Scientists have filmed nanoscale ice crystals adapting to trapped air bubbles without losing structural integrity.

Everything is born out of nothing,” said Ivan Smalyukh, a physicist at the University of Colorado Boulder. “All you do is shine a light, and this whole world of time crystals emerges.”. In a paper in ...

Well, it’s likely not an energy solution for single-family homes. But skyscrapers built with these light-collecting windows ...

On the move: a time sequence of images showing the motion of a droplet in the liquid crystal. (Courtesy: Hend Baza) Experimental models are vital to the study of human cell migration and division.

Scientists studied the inner workings of a solar cell material using X-ray and neutron scattering. The study revealed that liquid-like motion in the material may be responsible for their high ...
