A hexagonal columnar liquid crystal phase was formed by pairing a porphyrin Au III cation and a pentacyanocyclopentadienide (PCCp⁻) anion in water, stabilized by triethylene glycol (TEG) chains.

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

Tunable photonic crystal based on a self-organising liquid crystal structure in an optical microcavity (Fig. Marcin Muszyński, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw). A team of researchers from the ...

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 team of researchers affiliated with Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has made a significant discovery in the field of liquid crystals. Led by Professor Jonwoo Jeong and his ...

Scaling up perovskites for potential widespread use in solar cells has been a challenge due to arising defects. Yi Yang, postdoctoral fellow; Ted Sargent, Lynn Hopton Davis and Greg Davis Professor of ...

When you step onto an icy sidewalk or push off on skis, the surface can seem to vanish beneath you. For more than a century, ...
