This advance represents a pioneering achievement in both asymmetric chemistry and polymer chemistry ... rather than chemical methods using a liquid crystal reaction field as an external environment.

For decades, researchers have explored how electrons behave in quantum materials. Under certain conditions, electrons ...

Photonic circuits, which manipulate light to perform various computational tasks, have become essential tools for a range of ...

We plan to evaluate various ionic liquids and complexation chemistry so that we can tailor the material ... This work is being done in collaboration with Professor Doug Gin. Liquid crystals can be ...

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 ...

George William Gray was "a pioneer in liquid crystal chemistry" who will be sadly missed, RSC Chief Executive Dr Robert Parker said of his death last week. "George Gray's work was instrumental in the ...

Researchers at the University of Nottingham's School of Chemistry used transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to observe the ...

He then spent five years in the Physical Chemistry Department at the University of Mainz in Germany, the first two as a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow. In 1994, he returned to Boulder to rejoin the ...

Students will be able to develop and explain a particle-level model to describe their observations of water dissolving salt, the water evaporating, and the salt crystals re-forming. Dissolving a solid ...
