(Nanowerk Spotlight) Image sticking phenomena in liquid crystal (LC) devices became obvious soon after the production of the first nematic LC displays and have been a concern ever since. In a nematic ...

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

Researchers embedded a liquid crystal layer into a waveguide that was created with direct laser writing (pictured). The resulting hybrid device can be used to change the polarization of light ...

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

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

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 ...
