Polarization control in liquid crystal systems exploits the anisotropic optical properties of mesogenic materials to manipulate the orientation and phase of transmitted light. By engineering the ...

Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) systems consist of micron- to sub-micron-scale droplets of nematic liquid crystal embedded within a continuous polymer matrix. In the absence of an applied ...

A research team from the Institute of Statistical Mathematics and Panasonic Holdings Corporation has developed a machine learning algorithm, ShotgunCSP, that enables fast and accurate prediction of ...

By utilizing these symmetry predictors, the search space for crystal systems can be dramatically reduced, leading to a significant improvement in the accuracy of CSP. According to large-scale ...

Tiny strains in a crystal can cause electrons to behave in a surprising way that closely resembles a highly sought-after mechanism, RIKEN physicists have found in a new study. Previous studies may ...

Grab a mixing bowl from your kitchen, throw in a handful of aluminum balls, apply some high voltage, and watch an elegant dance unfold where particles re-arrange themselves into a distinct “crystal” ...
