Orientational order is important for both liquid crystals and cell assemblies, and experimental and computational techniques ...

Researchers developed a bifocal lens based on two layers of liquid crystal (LC) structures. The intensities for the two focal lengths can be easily adjusted by applying external voltage. WASHINGTON — ...

A hexagonal columnar liquid crystal phase was formed by pairing a porphyrin Au III cation and a pentacyanocyclopentadienide (PCCp⁻) anion in water, stabilized by triethylene glycol (TEG) chains.

Researchers improved organic solar cell fabrication by controlling molecular assembly, enhancing efficiency and stability, bringing the technology closer to commercial viability. OSCs are a compelling ...

Scaling up perovskites for potential widespread use in solar cells has been a challenge due to arising defects. Yi Yang, postdoctoral fellow; Ted Sargent, Lynn Hopton Davis and Greg Davis Professor of ...

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), as a source of entangled photons, is of great interest for quantum physics and quantum technology, but so far it could be only implemented in solids.

Your science textbook likely told you that matter exists in four states. You know them as solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. For generations, this understanding formed the foundation of physics. Now, a ...

Scientists have unveiled a new principle of motion in the microworld, where objects can move in a directed manner simply by changing their sizes periodically within a substance known as liquid crystal ...

Researchers at Harvard University have developed a rotational multimaterial 3D printing method to create soft filaments that ...
