(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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in organic solar cells (OSCs), bringing the technology closer to commercial viability. Researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign demonstrated ...

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

Scientists have filmed nanoscale ice crystals adapting to trapped air bubbles without losing structural integrity.

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a new way to control and manipulate optical signals by embedding a liquid crystal layer into waveguides created with direct laser writing. The new devices ...
