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

Researchers have been developing computers that deploy light (photons) rather than electricity to power storage and ...

NYU scientists unveil gyromorphs, a new material that blocks light from all angles, boosting next-gen light-based computing.

Physicists have discovered how to make electrons “freeze” and “melt” into bizarre quantum patterns, forming a new kind of matter where solid and liquid coexist. Electricity drives nearly every aspect ...

A new liquid crystal system rapidly switches between clear and opaque states, enabling fast smart windows and controllable emulsions for material synthesis. (Nanowerk News) Cornell researchers have ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created the first time crystal that humans can actually see, using liquid crystals that swirl into never-ending patterns when illuminated by light ...

The most commonly cited average is a 10-to-1 ratio. This means 10 inches of snowfall would melt down to equal one inch of ...

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a ...

Liquid crystal spatial light modulators (LC-SLMs) and wavelength selective switches (WSSs) represent pivotal components in modern photonics, enabling dynamic control over light properties in a variety ...

Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are synthetic organic compounds principally employed in the manufacture of liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Their unique physical‐chemical properties, including ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Color plays a crucial role in our daily lives, from the clothes we wear to the screens we gaze at. Yet, traditional methods of creating color, which rely on chemical pigments and ...

Many reptiles excrete solid uric acid crystals instead of liquid urine, a water-saving adaptation that could hold clues for human medicine. If you’ve never cared for a reptile, you might be surprised ...
