Liquid crystals form a unique state of matter that blends the molecular mobility of liquids with the organised structure of crystalline solids. Their phase transitions, ranging from nematic to smectic ...
Liquid crystals represent a unique state of matter, exhibiting properties that bridge the behaviours of conventional liquids and crystalline solids. Among the various mesophases, smectic phases are ...
This research could provide a means to give a deeper insight into the transformation between different structures in a wider variety of materials. This schematic illustrates the MALIO software, a ...
Crystallization is a well-explored natural phenomenon where atoms or molecules arrange themselves into highly organized solid ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid crystals (LCs) are a distinct state of matter exhibiting properties between crystalline solids and isotropic liquids. Their partially ordered structure gives rise to unique ...
The liquid crystals used in displays nowadays are usually in a nematic phase, i.e. a liquid-like state of almost parallel oriented molecules. However, there is another liquid crystal phase which has a ...
Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside ...
Researchers have investigated the non-equilibrium phase behavior of localized liquid-liquid phase separations (LLPS). The ...
This schematic illustrates the MALIO software, a machine learning structure analysis tool designed to analyze and distinguish the local structures of BP I and BP II liquid crystal phases. By ...
