The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may ...
Liquid crystals represent a unique state of matter, exhibiting properties that bridge the behaviours of conventional liquids and crystalline solids. Among the various mesophases, smectic phases are ...
This schematic illustrates the MALIO software, a machine learning structure analysis tool designed to analyze and distinguish the local structures of BP I and BP II liquid crystal phases. By ...
Preliminary studies of the highly polar organic molecule DIO revealed a mysterious liquid crystal phase between the nematic and ferroelectric nematic phases. X-ray diffraction studies showed that this ...
The liquid crystals used in displays nowadays are usually in a nematic phase, i.e. a liquid-like state of almost parallel oriented molecules. However, there is another liquid crystal phase which has a ...
At the Tokyo Tech LG Material & Life Solution Collaborative Research Cluster, a joint research team has developed a ferroelectric dimeric liquid crystal with spontaneous polarization that exceeds (8 ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid crystals (LCs) are a distinct state of matter exhibiting properties between crystalline solids and isotropic liquids. Their partially ordered structure gives rise to unique ...
This research could provide a means to give a deeper insight into the transformation between different structures in a wider variety of materials. This schematic illustrates the MALIO software, a ...
