Overall, the researchers demonstrated that achiral liquid crystal pathways show a 20% improvement in efficiency and three-fold improvement in stability when compared to random aggregation assemblies.
My recent work explores this concept by showing how a triangular pattern is formed from the clustering of small, localized vortices in a droplet of a chiral liquid crystal, which we have named ...
The paper is published in the journal Macromolecules. This advance represents a pioneering achievement in both asymmetric chemistry and polymer chemistry. Polyisocyanides are polymers ...
Throughout the 1960s, the management at RCA thought LCD displays were too difficult to commercialize and sent their engineers and researchers involved in LCDs off into the hinterlands. After ...
Here, a chiral liquid crystal membrane simulated with Morpho software. When mechanical and structural engineers design machines, bridges, and buildings, they calculate loads, stresses, and deformation ...
Researchers improved organic solar cell fabrication by controlling molecular assembly, enhancing efficiency and stability, bringing the technology closer to commercial viability. OSCs are a compelling ...
