A research team at POSTECH has developed a method for synthesizing perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs), a next-generation ...

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 ...

A hybrid microscope, born at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously ...

A research team at POSTECH has developed a new method for making perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) in a more efficient and uniform way. This breakthrough could help speed up the commercialization of ...

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.

The paper is published in the journal Macromolecules. This advance represents a pioneering achievement in both asymmetric chemistry and polymer chemistry. Polyisocyanides are polymers ...

The optical properties of liquid crystals have been a subject of study for many years now, with previous papers investigating second harmonic generation in ferroelectric smectic liquid crystals being ...

In their study, the research team synthesized optically active conducting polymers from non-optically active monomers through physical rather than chemical methods using a liquid crystal reaction ...
