Two related discoveries detailing nanocrystalline mineral formation and dynamics have broad implications for managing nuclear ...

Abstract: This work presents a pixelated liquid-crystal-driven terahertz (THz) reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) with a vertical cross structure. The RIS array is composed of two metal ...

China unveils results after replacing solar panels with transparent photovoltaic windows, achieving up to 75% lower energy ...

Abstract: Cholesteric liquid crystals (ChLCs) exhibit two stable states at zero field condition - the reflecting planar state and the nonreflecting focal conic state. ChLCs are an excellent candidate ...

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, ...
