Scientists at Nanjing University have developed a transparent, colorless solar coating that can be directly applied to glass.

Scientists have developed the first-ever time crystals that are visible to the human eye, and they could one day make their way onto $100 bills. The time crystals emerge from the kinks that appear ...

Imagine a clock that doesn't have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used liquid crystals, ...

Lenses made with liquid crystals could lead to eyeglasses that can easily switch between correcting near- and far-sightedness. Instead of fashioning lenses just from glass, which must be made convex ...

Researchers have developed a novel way for liquid crystals to retain information about their movement. Using this method could advance technologies like memory devices and sensors, as well as pave the ...

Abstract: This letter presents a reconfigurable broadband transmissive-type linear cross-polarization converter (LCPC) based on liquid crystal (LC) metasurfaces. The proposed structure exhibits ...

The wireless ecosystem and going beyond the Shannon model. How reconfigurable intelligent surfaces can address smart system applications. About the 6G Liquid Crystal Reconfigurable Intelligent ...

When patterned as diffractive lenses, LCPGs can provide non-mechanical control over beam divergence and variable focusing. These dynamic elements enable a range of applications, such as machine vision ...
