In physics, some waves behave in a surprising way: instead of spreading out and fading, they hold their shape as they travel ...

A team at the University of Colorado Boulder has designed new kinds of liquid crystals that mirror the complex structures of some solid crystals—a major step forward in building flowing materials that ...

Under the right conditions, liquid crystals condense into astonishing structures, spontaneously generating filaments and flattened discs that can transport material from one place to another, much ...

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 ...

A new technique to change the structure of liquid crystals could lead to the development of fast-responding liquid crystals suitable for next generation displays—3-D, augmented and virtual reality—and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The screens we use every day – from smartphones to televisions – work by either filtering white light or creating their own illumination. These approaches have served well but ...

Sharp Corp. Aquos liquid crystal display (LCD) televisions sit in the thermostatic aging room at the company’s plant in Yaita, Tochigi prefecture, Japan. Select an option below to continue reading ...
