High-energy cosmic radiation damages cells and DNA, causing cancer, and secondary neutrons—generated especially from the ...

Developing high-density neutron shielding material using surfactant-stabilized boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT).

Holographic polymer films have emerged as a versatile platform where interference patterns are stored via photopolymerisation in photosensitive matrices. When these films are integrated with liquid ...

Preliminary studies of the highly polar organic molecule DIO revealed a mysterious liquid crystal phase between the nematic and ferroelectric nematic phases. X-ray diffraction studies showed that this ...
