Crystals may seem flawless, but deep inside they contain tiny structural imperfections that dramatically influence their ...

Cornell researchers have developed a two-phase liquid crystal system that can rapidly change—and hold—its shape, transforming ...

Crystals are known far and wide for their beauty and elegance. But even though they may appear perfect on the outside, their ...

A clever method from Caltech researchers now makes it possible to unravel complex electron-lattice interactions, potentially transforming how we understand and design quantum and electronic materials.

A nonlinear structure and parameter identification method is proposed to get the nonlinear dynamic model of Czochralski silicon crystal growth between pulling speed and diameter. The mean impact value ...

Glycerol-Based Bicontinuous Cubic Lyotropic Liquid Crystal Monomer System for the Fabrication of Thin-Film Membranes with Uniform Nanopores Blaine M. Carter † ...

Crystal engineering is “the understanding of intermolecular interactions in the context of crystal packing and the utilization of such understanding in the design of new solids with desired physical ...

The microscope system in combination with a digital image processing is developed for determining all-focused images and depth mapping properties of microscopic objects by using a liquid crystal (LC) ...

Calcite undergoes thermal expansion, meaning that interatomic distances increase as temperature rises, causing the crystal structure to enlarge. This expansion occurs due to increased thermal motion ...
