If you were able to visualize the passage of time, it may appear as looping ribbons of color, these fragments ribboning and ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

Ions influence conductivity and mobility in molecular liquid crystals, affecting electrical behavior, stability, and performance in both established and emerging technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

“Everything is born out of nothing. All you do is shine a light, and this whole world of time crystals emerges,” said University of Colorado Boulder physicist Ivan Smalyukh. In a field where most ...

A study finds chiral structures, with mirror-image configurations, can emerge from nonchiral systems, suggesting new ways to engineer these materials. Hold your hands out in front of you, and no ...

Holographic 3D display completely avoids the side effects of the traditional 3D display, such as the dizziness and fatigue of viewers. Therefore, it has become the frontier and hotspot of the current ...

Electronics have been transforming from rigid, lifeless systems into adaptive, living platforms capable of seamlessly ...

A research group led by Dr. Jialei He of Nagoya University's Graduate School of Engineering has developed a method for processing cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) into micrometer-sized spherical ...

Salt creeping, a phenomenon that occurs in both natural and industrial processes, describes the collection and migration of salt crystals from evaporating solutions onto surfaces. Once they start ...

Liquid metal embedded with dormant bacterial spores forms a living conductor that heals itself, resists oxidation, and boosts ...
