The paper presents a low-voltage dual-domain liquid-crystal element with planar and homeotropic director orientations that performs the functions of an optical deflector. Its operation principle is ...

The Universe’s most abundant ice isn’t formless—it’s secretly laced with crystals. And that might change how we think about ...

For over two decades, physicists have been working toward implementing quantum light storage—also known as quantum memory—in ...
