The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may be, counterintuitively, antiferromagnets. Today, the most widely used ...

Abstract: liquid crystal (LC) technology is a promising hardware solution for realizing extremely large reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) due to its advantages in cost-effectiveness, ...

In the basement of Lynn Unterberg’s Crystal Lake home are hundreds of stuffed animals and children’s books laid out in organized piles by genre, animal type and even by holidays. The books get ...

In new work from POSTECH, scientists grew perovskite nanocrystals, which are tiny semiconductors with adjustable light emission. The crystals grew in a carefully structured solvent at room temperature ...

The knots in your shoelaces are familiar, but can you imagine knots made from light, water, or from the structured fluids that make LCD screens shine? They exist, and in a new Nature Physics study, ...

Light-based computing just got a surprising new ally: a material that behaves like both a liquid and a crystal. For years, researchers have been racing to build computers that run on photons instead ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Physicists at CU Boulder have created shimmering “time-moving” crystals from liquid crystal materials, revealing a new form of ...
