Properties that remain unchanged when materials are stretched or bent, which are broadly referred to as topological ...

Scientists unveil a solid electrolyte that moves lithium as fast as liquids, promising safer, fast-charging batteries.

Physicists call this strange state a quantum spin liquid, and for decades it has been one of the most elusive phases of ...

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 ...
