Scientists grow ultra-uniform perovskite nanocrystals at room temperature, boosting yields and brighter light for future ...

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, ...

If you dissolve sugar in hot water and then cool it down, you'll see pure sugar crystals form while impurities stay in the liquid. You can even watch the beautiful sugar crystals slowly grow in the ...

Scientists at Rice University found a new way to make liquid crystals from boron nitride nanotubes. Instead of using acids or polymers to disperse the nanotubes, they used a common surfactant and ...

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 ...

Scientists uncovered how boron nitride nanotubes can be coaxed into forming ordered liquid crystalline phases in water. (Nanowerk News) In an elegant fusion of art and science, researchers at Rice ...

Researchers improved organic solar cell fabrication by controlling molecular assembly, enhancing efficiency and stability, bringing the technology closer to commercial viability. OSCs are a compelling ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
