Physicists used liquid crystals to build a near-perpetual clock-like system, demonstrating a 'time crystal' phase where ...

The knots in your shoelaces are familiar, but can you imagine knots made from light, water, or from the structured fluids ...

The colours in this newly discovered phase of liquid crystal shift as researchers apply a small electric field. Credit: SMRC Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have become the first to ...

Liquid crystals, with their uniform molecular structure and orientation, offer exciting possibilities for future technology. They are already the basis of displays, which use the crystals’ orientation ...

Liquid crystals are widely used in technologies such as displays, which manipulate their orientation to display colors across the spectrum. In traditional displays, liquid crystals are stationary and ...

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information. (Nanowerk News) The blue-green lab-grown crystals look like solid rocks, but their ...
