Light enters the display, goes through a polarizer, and is twisted by a liquid crystal material. The first successful LCDs used two types of liquid crystals – chiral and nematic. By combining ...

depending on the specific liquid crystal material used. The properties of LCNPs are governed by both the liquid crystalline nature of the core and the nanoscale dimensions of the particles. Some key ...

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, the ...

"This trend that we saw in improved performance through the liquid crystal phase versus the random fiber aggregation is general and can be applied to various types of organic solar cell materials ...

Photonic circuits, which manipulate light to perform various computational tasks, have become essential tools for a range of ...

as in a liquid. But under stronger pressure, they lock into place, forming a rigid structure. This duality places them in a unique category, between granular materials and crystalline ...

Researchers develop liquid crystal sensor to detect acetic acid in air New sensor technology enhances detection capabilities ...

One of the most important frontiers in materials chemistry is the architectural control of synthetic materials on the nanometer-scale. Nanometer-scale architecture is primarily responsible for the ...

His research interests center on determining the structure and electro-optic properties of liquid crystal materials, including bent-core and ferroelectric smectics and ferromagnetic colloids, and on ...

For decades, researchers have explored how electrons behave in quantum materials. Under certain conditions, electrons ...

Here, a chiral liquid crystal membrane simulated with Morpho software ... and plastic to find the optimal geometry that bears loads with the minimum cost of material. Designing for relatively hard ...
