A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

However, the driving forces for the frustrated liquid-crystalline phases differ from those for a conventional liquid-crystalline phase composed of rod-like molecules.

Scientists from UCL and the University of Cambridge have revealed that "space ice"—long thought to be completely ...

"Space ice" contains tiny crystals and is not a completely disordered material like liquid water, as previously assumed, ...

Studying how molecules move in liquid crystals can help experimenters refine the control mechanisms of molecular machines — molecules or molecular systems that can change their shape or orientation in ...

The Universe’s most abundant ice isn’t formless—it’s secretly laced with crystals. And that might change how we think about ...

Space ice” contains tiny crystals and is not, as previously assumed, a completely disordered material like liquid water, ...

A recent study reveals that 'space ice', contrary to previous beliefs, contains tiny crystals and is not entirely disordered ...

"Ice in the rest of the universe has long been considered a snapshot of liquid water – that is, a disordered arrangement fixed in place. Our findings show this is not entirely true." ...

Scientists found low-density amorphous ice in space isn’t fully random - it hides tiny crystals, reshaping our understanding ...

Scientists just gave the electric motor a sci-fi upgrade. A new study details how researchers successfully built and operated ...
