Researchers have developed a phase-transformable membrane that efficiently separates gases like CO2 and H2 by shifting ...

Researchers at Cornell have engineered a groundbreaking porous crystal using a unique fusion of macrocycle and molecular cage ...

If we want to use hydrogen as fuel for cars or airplanes, or for chemical storage of excess renewable energy, it would be ...

When Billy Crystal regularly hosted the Academy Awards, he liked to begin the show with a montage where he was inserted into the nominated films. The 2000 opening leaned more on Hollywood history ...

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis of its crystal revealed a head-to-tail arrangement of molecules with furan and maleimide groups of neighboring molecules proximally placed in an ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Liquid crystals exhibit a variety of other hexatic, higher-order, and crystalline smectic phases, but these are not yet relevant to the topic of this paper. Having provided a basic introduction to the ...
