Our team designed an experimental setup where tiny droplets of chiral nematic liquid crystals were subjected to precise temperature control. As the system cooled, localized vortices—tiny regions ...

The first successful LCDs used two types of liquid crystals – chiral and nematic. By combining these two types of molecules in the right proportion, the display can ‘twist’ the polarized ...

The identification of a twisted-bend nematic liquid crystal within a polymer ... analogous to the enzymatic growth of amino acids with chiral structures in vivo, which leads to the synthesis ...

Randomly positioned in parallel, nematic LCs react quickly to electric fields, which is why they are used in the great majority of LCD screens. Meaning "thread" in Greek, nematic LCs are ...
