A prototype of bifocal eyeglasses uses liquid crystals and electric fields to switch between modes that aid in nearby and ...

Real-time monitoring of key biomarkers is a critical prerequisite for early disease diagnosis and personalized therapy. Early ...

A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal crystal repeat in space. Examples once existed in only complex, quantum matter, ...

The visible patterns produced by the time crystals could be used for data storage and anti-counterfeiting designs.

Oxygen, the colorless and odorless gas that is essential to the survival of humans and other living organisms, is estimated ...

In their study, Zhao and Smalyukh created a space–time crystal in the nematic phase of a liquid crystal. In this phase the crystal’s rod-like molecules align parallel to each other and also flow like ...

A new liquid crystal device lets scientists control how light twists and behaves using voltage, making it possible to reshape light patterns without changing the physical structure of the device.

First theorized in 2012, researchers are beginning to find new ways to implement this mind-bending technology.

Water, though familiar, still hides astonishing secrets. When squeezed into nanosized channels, it can enter a bizarre ...

Despite being one of the most familiar substances on Earth, water holds many secrets that scientists are still working to ...
