Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: ...

Scientists observe a visible time crystal for the first time, revealing a phase of matter that repeats patterns through time.

Robots and cameras of the future could be made of liquid crystals, thanks to a new discovery that significantly expands the potential of the chemicals already common in computer displays and digital ...

The new technique allows scientists to see each particle that makes up colloidal crystals and to create dynamic three-dimensional models. A team of New York University researchers has created a new ...

Imagine a clock that doesn’t have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used liquid crystals, ...

In a study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, researchers from National Taiwan University report that a ...
