Understanding the behavior of tiny droplets in our cells could aid the search for new treatments. A team of Leiden ...

Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 ...

Researchers at the HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics have discovered a new state of matter, in which liquid droplets behave as actively moving, interacting particles under the influence of an ...

Liquid-crystal molecules tend to be elongated and to orient in specific directions. The Fréedericksz transition, a key electro-optic phenomenon in nonpolar nematic liquid crystals, is suppressed ...

To do that, they will increasingly turn to liquid cooling. This whitepaper explores the use of two-phase cooling (2PD2C), which uses a different coolant with a low boiling point, enabling it to phase ...

By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers have successfully achieved the living polymerization of polymers with aligned helical structures. In this process, optically ...

Additionally, the liquid crystal used in the reaction exhibited properties of the twisted-bend nematic phase—a recently discovered phase that has been attracting considerable attention in liquid ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like skyrmions and blue phase III phases. Skyrmions are tiny vortex-like structures ...

The best cooler for your PC could well be an all-in-one (AIO) unit. Offering many of the benefits of liquid cooling, which can be more capable than air, an AIO cooler is easy to set up and provide ...

Throughout the follicular phase, a single "dominant follicle" develops faster than the rest. This follicle (a fluid-filled sac in your ovary) then releases more estrogen into the body in ...
