More than $2 billion has been spent over the past 15 years in trying to develop the technology and infrastructure behind liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) displays. After a fitful start ...

These phages have been shown to form aggregates of liquid crystals in biofilms, but we wanted to understand this process, following on from work of several of our colleagues around the world.

What are Liquid Crystal Nanoparticles? Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties of liquid crystals with the advantages of nanoparticles.

We’d honestly never heard of this particular design, dubbed “LCCS”, or liquid crystal color shutter, until [Technology Connections]’ partial teardown of the JVC monitor and explanation of ...

Liquid crystal display (LCD) modules are used at the component level in place of less efficient displays such as cathode ray tubes (CRTs). These modules do not include housing and must be incorporated ...

Liquid crystal science and applications now permeate almost all segments of the society—from large industrial displays to individual homes and offices. Nondisplay applications in nonlinear optics, ...

One of the most important frontiers in materials chemistry is the architectural control of synthetic materials on the nanometer-scale. Nanometer-scale architecture is primarily responsible for the ...

In 1888, liquid crystals were identified by Austrian botanist Friedrich Reinitzer and German physicist Otto Lehmann. Studying the cholesterol in carrots using a temperature-controlled polarizing ...

After watching [Ben Krasnow]’s efforts to build a liquid crystal display, we can easily see why the suits thought what they did. It’s an amazing engineering feat. Before building his own ...

People with photosensitive epilepsy could soon be able to watch TV without worry. Scientists in the UK have created glasses ...

Video showing the liquid crystal condensates forming -- the right-hand side uses false color to differentiate the filaments (light blue) and flattened discs (yellow). Video is at 60x real time and ...
