Liquid brine veins, where RNA molecules can replicate, surround solid ice crystals in water ice, as seen with an electron microscope.

Schematic representation of liquid crystal orientation within a bicontinuous porous structure, depicting the molecular alignment before, during, and after the application of an electric field. The top ...

Liquid crystals comprise molecules that can flow like in a liquid ... They also tested the lens in edge imaging, which enhances the clarity of boundaries in images. This requires a much smaller ...

LCD technology utilizes the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. These crystals do not emit light directly but use a backlight or reflector to produce images in ...

At higher densities, though, the crystalline phase gave way to an electron liquid. Next, the researchers hope to image how the Wigner crystal phase gives way to other phases of electrons under a ...

First, the secret image is hidden in different shares (individual liquid crystal holograms) and can only be decrypted through cascading the shares. Even if one of the shares is stolen, it is ...

LED displays use tiny light-bulb-like semiconductors, called light-emitting diodes, to emit the light that goes through the glass substrates and liquid crystals to create an image. In a cheaper ...

Robots and cameras of the future could be made of liquid crystals, thanks to a new discovery that significantly expands the potential of the chemicals already common in computer displays and digital ...

Liquid crystal (LC) lenses with electrically tunable focal length ... However, in this way, the high driving voltage (∼90 Vrms) and the unavoidable haze that result affect the image quality of LC ...
