These phages have been shown to form aggregates of liquid crystals in biofilms, but we wanted to understand this process, following on from work of several of our colleagues around the world.

A class of synthetic soft materials called liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can change shape in response to heat, similar to ...

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

"On short timescales, glass behaves much like a solid. But the liquidlike structure of glass means that over a long enough ...

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 ...
