A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign describes a breakthrough in the field of organic solar cells (OSCs), bringing the technology one step closer to commercial ...

What are Liquid Crystal Nanoparticles? Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties of liquid crystals with the advantages of nanoparticles.

In 1888, liquid crystals were identified by Austrian botanist Friedrich Reinitzer and German physicist Otto Lehmann. Studying the cholesterol in carrots using a temperature-controlled polarizing ...

These phages have been shown to form aggregates of liquid crystals in biofilms, but we wanted to understand this process, following on from work of several of our colleagues around the world.

In Australia more than 3,600 people live with cystic fibrosis with one in every 2,500 babies born with the disease. Lead investigator UniSA's Professor Clive Prestidge says that liquid crystal ...

The POSTECH research team has developed a synthesis method that precisely controls the size and shape of PNCs using a liquid crystal (LC) as an antisolvent in the LARP method. LC is an ...

After watching [Ben Krasnow]’s efforts to build a liquid crystal display, we can easily see why the suits thought what they did. It’s an amazing engineering feat. Before building his own ...

The optical properties of liquid crystals have been a subject of study for many years now, with previous papers investigating second harmonic generation in ferroelectric smectic liquid crystals being ...

The demand for high-speed internet is growing fast, with technologies like self-driving cars, 6G mobile networks, and quantum communication pushing fiber optic networks to their limits. Researchers at ...

LCD technology utilizes the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. These crystals do not emit light directly but use a backlight or reflector to produce images in ...

More than $2 billion has been spent over the past 15 years in trying to develop the technology and infrastructure behind liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) displays. After a fitful start ...
