In a new study, scientists have shown for the first time that even without additional corrections, the standard GAFF interatomic interaction potential can reproduce an isotropic-nematic phase ...

Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) is a promising candidate for actuation in light-driven soft robot applications. Due to the fact that LCE has complex hysteretic nonlinearities, which are highly ...

Using a slow wave (SW) and liquid crystal (LC) inverted microstrip structure, a tiny phase shifter is designed in this research. The liquid crystal phase-shifter is proposed as a three-periodic ...

Numerous biological systems in nature provide much inspiration for humanity to master diverse coloration strategies for creating stimuli-responsive materials and display devices, such as to access ...
