A research team at POSTECH has developed a method for synthesizing perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs), a next-generation ...

The key to this phenomenon lies in the creation of phase defects within the liquid crystal structure next to the air bubbles. These defects disrupt the symmetrical nature of the bubbles ...

and strings and monopoles in liquid crystals are all examples of topological defects. The concept of topological defects is diverse, spanning from condensed matter to fields such as particle ...

Scientists have discovered a way to use single missing atoms in crystals as memory cells, packing terabytes of data into a ...

When introduced into a nematic liquid crystal, these particles induce three-dimensional director fields and topological defects dictated by colloidal topology. While electric fields, photothermal ...

Do the liquid crystals physically protect the bacteria ... there are all sorts of electronics and apertures and lenses that can have a defect and need special engineers to come and repair.

In their study, the research team synthesized optically active conducting polymers from non-optically active monomers through physical rather than chemical methods using a liquid crystal reaction ...
