A class of synthetic soft materials called liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can change shape in response to heat, similar to ...
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL)—commonly known as bad cholesterol—have long been on scientists' radar as a major contributor ...
By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers have successfully achieved the living polymerization of polymers with aligned helical structures. In this process, optically ...
It took a while for scientists to gain access to the samples that NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission took from the asteroid Bennu, but ...
Superionic materials are a class of materials that simultaneously present properties that are characteristic of solids and ...
Caltech researchers have developed PAMs, a novel material that blends the properties of solids and liquids, making them ...
By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...
A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like skyrmions and blue phase III phases. Skyrmions are tiny vortex-like structures ...
The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...
Recently, they introduced a transformative solution using a multi-twist structure (Fig. 1(c)) to address chromatic aberration (Fig. 1(d)) in liquid crystal polarization-based optics, achieving ...
The team believes that the structure was in use until the 8th century BCE, the middle of the period when the Kings of Judah ruled. A scarab seal from the 8th century BCE uncovered during the ...
