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 ...

Overall, the researchers demonstrated that achiral liquid crystal pathways show a 20% improvement in efficiency and ...

The researcher outlines the applications of liquid crystal materials in the field of visualisation outside of displays 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 ...

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 ...

Our scientific interests encompass different branches of soft condensed matter and optical physics, including novel laser trapping and imaging techniques, molecular and colloidal self-assembly, ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in organic solar cells (OSCs), bringing the technology closer to commercial viability ...

Polyamides can be difficult to characterize, despite their use in various aspects of everyday life. Vrije Universiteit ...

During her analysis of long molecule chains at low temperatures, Kwolek observed how polyamide molecules line up to form liquid crystalline polymer solutions of exceptional strength and stiffness.
