A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...
Scientists have created tiny disk-shaped particles that can swim on their own when hit with light, akin to microscopic robots ...
“Most liquid-crystal-based devices are made from single-layer structures, but this limits light-field modulation to a confined area,” Fan explains. “To realize more complex and functional modulation ...
In this case, the frames of the glasses has a small circuit that heats the lenses up to 36.5 °C (97.7 °F), which causes them to reflect those particular wavelengths of red light.
Now, for the first time, Crystal Light has set their sights on sprucing up another clear liquid (that may, in some cases, also be found inside water bottles)—vodka!
Recently, ‘Liquid crystal display (LCD) vs. organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display: who wins?’ has become a topic of heated debate. In this review, we perform a systematic and comparative ...
With the maturation of the information display field, liquid-crystal materials research is undergoing a modern-day renaissance. Devices and configurations based on liquid-crystal materials are ...
Light enters the display, goes through a polarizer, and is twisted by a liquid crystal material. The first successful LCDs used two types of liquid crystals – chiral and nematic.
Hitting the gym, and working out, is part of many people's lives. To live up to those high standards of physical fitness there should be a commitment to eating and drinking healthy. Crystal Light ...
