Controlling light with light is a long-sought goal for computing and communication technologies. Achieving this capability ...

The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may be, counterintuitively, antiferromagnets. Today, the most widely used ...

Liquid crystal optics represent a dynamic field where the intrinsic anisotropic properties of liquid crystals facilitate advanced control over light propagation. When combined with grating structures, ...

Liquid crystals (LCs) occupy a unique state of matter that bridges the gap between conventional liquids and solid crystals. Their exceptional ability to combine fluidity with long-range molecular ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Physicists at CU Boulder have created shimmering “time-moving” crystals from liquid crystal materials, revealing a new form of ...

Adapted from an article run in CU Boulder Today by Daniel Strain A team led by RASEI Fellow Ivan Smalyukh has discovered a new type of liquid crystal that exists in perpetual, rhythmic motion, ...

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), as a source of entangled photons, is of great interest for quantum physics and quantum technology, but so far it could be only implemented in solids.

A micrometer-sized liquid crystal droplet doped with fluorescent dye functions as a nanosecond optical switch that controls light output using light alone. The resonant cavity design cuts the energy ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created the first time crystal that humans can actually see, using liquid crystals that swirl into never-ending patterns when illuminated by light ...

Your science textbook likely told you that matter exists in four states. You know them as solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. For generations, this understanding formed the foundation of physics. Now, a ...

SHENZHEN, GUANGDONG, CHINA, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The rapid evolution of smart home technology has ...

Because liquid crystals are commonplace, it may be easier to integrate CSTC into existing systems without having to build new factories or components. They may also become part of existing phone ...
