In joint research with the University of Tokyo (UTokyo), the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology ...

Numerous biological systems in nature provide much inspiration for humanity to master diverse coloration strategies for creating stimuli-responsive materials and display devices, such as to access ...

These structural and compositional changes are found to induce liquid crystallinity in some cases and to enhance the temperature range and lower the onset temperature of the liquid-crystalline phases ...

Using a slow wave (SW) and liquid crystal (LC) inverted microstrip structure, a tiny phase shifter is designed in this research. The liquid crystal phase-shifter is proposed as a three-periodic ...

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

Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) is a promising candidate for actuation in light-driven soft robot applications. Due to the fact that LCE has complex hysteretic nonlinearities, which are highly ...
