Modern liquid crystals devices utilize high resistivity liquid crystals characterized by negligibly small concentration of mobile ions. However, these devices are prone to uncontrolled ionic ...

Figure 2: These are CCD images of Be+ ion crystals in the CryPTEx Paul trap. The positions of (dark) Ar13+ ions are marked by red crosses: Crystal of about 1,500 Be+ ions (a) before and (b) after ...

Prior research had shown that when pressurized, the molecules in organic ionic crystals move from a disorganized state to a neat grid configuration.

Kyoto University team exploit preexisting crystal "molds" to make copper oxide nanocrystals morph into hollow copper sulfide nanocages through anion exchange, and ultimately into cadmium ...

In this work, “porous ionic crystals” will be constructed by the use of molecular ions and ion charge/site ratio mismatch. Unique adsorption, diffusion, and reaction properties will be cultivated by ...

The Sharper Image, the upscale retailer known for its air purifiers, vibrating chairs and other high-tech gadgets, has fallen on hard times. The company says it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy ...

Image sticking phenomena in liquid crystal (LC) devices became obvious soon after the production of the first nematic LC displays and have been a concern ever since. Now, researchers have developed a ...

Never mind that huge sucking sound coming from The Sharper Image 's corporate headquarters on The Embarcadero. It's just the air coming out of the retailer's hoped-for settlement of a consumer ...
