Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...

Schematic representation of liquid crystal orientation within a bicontinuous porous structure, depicting the molecular alignment before, during, and after the application of an electric field. The top ...

This change in orientation affects the light's ability to pass through the liquid crystal layer, enabling the display to produce images. An LCD consists of several layers, including two polarizing ...
