LA VISTA, Neb., Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Streck is pleased to announce an expanded partnership with Ceres Nanosciences (Ceres) to distribute the Nanotrap ® Extraction Advanced Technology (NEAT) ...

Abstract: A highly temperature sensitive directional coupler is demonstrated experimentally by selectively filling nematic liquid crystal into a single void of the photonic crystal fiber. The ...

The colours in this newly discovered phase of liquid crystal shift as researchers apply a small electric field. Credit: SMRC Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have become the first to ...

The newly discovered phase is a form of nematic liquid crystal, which offer a mix of fluid- and solid-like characteristics that allow for some unique abilities, namely an ability to control light.

Clark agrees, saying that the discovery of a liquid crystal could lead to new technological innovations, from new types of display screens to reimagined computer memory. "There are 40,000 research ...

Here we show that nanometre-sized ferromagnetic platelets suspended in a nematic liquid crystal can order ferromagnetically on quenching from the isotropic phase. Cooling in the absence of a ...

Topological defects that form on surfaces of ordered media, dubbed boojums, are ubiquitous in superfluids, liquid crystals (LCs), Langmuir monolayers, and Bose–Einstein condensates. They determine ...
