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

Schematic representation of liquid crystal orientation within a bicontinuous porous structure, depicting the molecular alignment before, during, and after the application of an electric field. The top ...

The 2006 edition of this authoritative guide on liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) science was produced in response to the wealth of new material generated in the field. It takes the reader through the ...

In helical form, liquid crystals reflect ambient light at different wavelengths based on their pitch, or how far apart the coils in their helical structure are spaced; stretching and compressing ...

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 ...

Self-assembling molecules into organized structures is highly valuable for developing new materials. One notable class of these materials is lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs), which are ...

Glass is an amorphous material, which means that the structure of glass lies between that of a crystalline material and a liquid. Glass is often considered as a super-cooled liquid. At high ...
