If you were able to visualize the passage of time, it may appear as looping ribbons of color, these fragments ribboning and ...

Electronics have been transforming from rigid, lifeless systems into adaptive, living platforms capable of seamlessly ...

Imagine a clock that doesn’t have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, physicists at CU Boulder have used liquid crystals, the same materials that ...

NYU scientists unveil gyromorphs, a new material that blocks light from all angles, boosting next-gen light-based computing.

Creating quantum light just became easier thanks to liquid crystals like the ones found in television screens. Team member Vitaliy Sultanov at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The platform created by the researchers enables the formation and dynamic tuning of ...

A breakthrough from researchers in China could soon turn the windows in our homes, offices, and skyscrapers into quiet energy generators, offering a futuristic glimpse into the possibility of ...

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 chiral ...

Scientists have developed the first-ever time crystals that are visible to the human eye, and they could one day make their way onto $100 bills. The time crystals emerge from the kinks that appear ...
