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 ...

What are Liquid Crystal Nanoparticles? Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties of liquid crystals with the advantages of nanoparticles.

In 1888, liquid crystals were identified by Austrian botanist Friedrich Reinitzer and German physicist Otto Lehmann. Studying the cholesterol in carrots using a temperature-controlled polarizing ...

By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...

In Australia more than 3,600 people live with cystic fibrosis with one in every 2,500 babies born with the disease. Lead investigator UniSA's Professor Clive Prestidge says that liquid crystal ...

By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...

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 ...

My recent work explores this concept by showing how a triangular pattern is formed from the clustering of small, localized vortices in a droplet of a chiral liquid crystal, which we have named ...

In a new study, researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), Princeton University, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Brookhaven National ...

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 ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing ...

Microdisplays based on liquid-crystal-on-silicon technology may soon gain wider recognition as they penetrate an increasing number of markets, ranging from electronic viewfinders to miniature data ...
