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 ...

Additionally, the liquid crystal used in the reaction exhibited properties of the twisted-bend nematic phase—a recently discovered phase that has been attracting considerable attention in liquid ...

Here authors demonstrate the creation and light-actuated transformation of skyrmion textures in nematic liquid crystals, enabling colloidal assemblies and dynamic behaviors. Oil-in-water mixtures ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like ...

Crystal Palace ended their recent good form with a 2-1 defeat at home to Brentford.

Published in Journal of Photonics for Energy (JPE), the study involves adding a small concentration of nanoporous microparticles (NMPs) to nematic liquid crystals (LCs), resulting in a thin device ...

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 ...
