This finding was important because the liquid crystal structures resulted in better OSC stability and efficiency when compared to cells fabricated using random aggregation pathways.

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.

Achiral liquid crystal pathways enhance efficiency by 20% and stability three-fold, while chiral structures increase efficiency by 56% and stability 50 times, offering promising prospects for ...

Randomly positioned in parallel, nematic LCs react quickly to electric fields, which is why they are used in the great majority of LCD screens. Meaning "thread" in Greek, nematic LCs are ...

These new lasers work by combining the properties of a laser dye with those of the natural photonic bandgap created by the periodic structures of liquid crystals, particularly cholesteric liquid ...

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 ...

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, the ...
