We present a molecular design of a preprogrammed supermolecule that can stabilize frustrated molecular organization of an isotropic liquid-crystalline phase. The tapered amphiphilic compound ...

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

In a new study, scientists have shown for the first time that even without additional corrections, the standard GAFF interatomic interaction potential can reproduce an isotropic-nematic phase ...

Liquid crystals are substances that flow like a liquid but maintain some of the ordered structure of crystals. Liquid-crystal molecules tend to be elongated and to orient in specific directions.

Researchers develop a novel method to predict alloy microstructures with unprecedented speed and accuracy. (Nanowerk News) ...

The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the ...

Planning to get a smart TV under budget that offers excellent picture and sound quality, comes with multiple connectivity ...

CrOCl's layered structure remains stable at high temperatures, making it ideal for next-gen CMOS and spintronic devices with ...

A new silicon material switches from insulator to metal in picoseconds. This breakthrough could speed up future computers.

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments ...

Many electric motors currently use copper in their stators and often their rotors. In a search for alternatives, researchers ...
