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.

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.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) modules are used at the component level in place of less efficient displays such as cathode ray tubes (CRTs). These modules do not include housing and must be incorporated ...

The lens features a bilayer structure made of liquid crystal materials. Each layer responds differently to the applied electric field, splitting incoming light into oppositely polarized beams. Bifocal ...

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 ...

The traditional “spectrometer + lens” setups in hyperspectral cameras involve performance tradeoffs when the system is driven ...

The lenses, which use two layers of liquid crystal structures, could be useful for various applications such as optical ...

We have been developing fast-response ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) devices using fine polymer walls and fibers for future flexible TV displays with excellent portability. In the device ...

One notable class of these materials is lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs), which are molecular assemblies of amphiphilic π-electronic molecules, with water-absorbing and water-repelling ...
