Physicists used liquid crystals to build a near-perpetual clock-like system, demonstrating a 'time crystal' phase where ...
For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...
In a new Nature Physics study, researchers created particle-like so-called “vortex knots” inside chiral nematic liquid ...
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 ...
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 ...
Researchers with the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have shown for the first time how to design the basic elements needed for logic operations using a kind of material ...
