WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a way to create freeform optical components by shaping a volume of curable liquid polymer. The new method is poised to enable faster prototyping of customized ...

A researcher at the University of Tsukuba develops a method for creating optically active polymers using a helical liquid crystal template, which may allow for future computer and TV displays to ...

Lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) are formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules in a solvent, resulting in well‐defined mesophases whose nanostructured order is amenable to precise ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an innovative energy storage system ...

Today’s lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes that can catch fire if a battery overheats. Solid electrolytes made of nonflammable polymers and ceramics are safer, but their performance isn’t ...

That's where the new ink comes in. Developed by Prof. Jinhye Bae and colleagues at the University of California San Diego, it incorporates a liquid polymer solution by the name of poly ...
