Colluding with colloids: Scientists make liquid crystal discovery
What do milk, paint, ink and liquid crystals have in common? Colloids. Findings of Kent State University scientists indicate that manipulating the size of colloids, micron-sized or nanometer-sized particles, can produce huge changes in the material properties of liquid crystals. view more (2006-12-18)
Recycling liquid crystal display screens
GAIKER Technological Centre is taking part in a European project under the auspices of the VI Framework Programme involving the reuse and recycling of liquid crystal display screens (ReLCD) employed in the manufacture of devices such as laptops, electronic agendas, calculators, mobile telephones, electronic video-games, audio equipment,... view more...

The alignment of liquid crystals in devices such as lap-top computers and palm pilots makes the displays on these devices readable. view more (2005-12-21)
Liquid crystal multilayer study promises improvements in manufacturing techniques for LCD's
In order to successfully fabricate a commercial Liquid Crystal Display, uniform orientation of the liquid crystal (LC) molecules is required. view more (2005-10-12)
Large Area High Definition Television (HDTV) prototype based on Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) Light Valves.
The microsystems group TFCG/IMEC at the University of Gent has developed a large area High Definition Television (HDTV) prototype based on Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) light valves. This work is carried out in collaboration with the Taiwanese company TMDC. The LCoS HDTV is most suited for multimedia and DVD home-theater applications. The R&D... view more... (2003-04-30)
New transistor makes brighter future for display screens
Researchers from Myongji University, Korea, have developed a way to improve liquid crystal displays (LCD), which could revolutionise display technology. Published today in the Institute of Physics journal Semiconductor Science and Technology, Professor Yong-Sang Kim and his team propose a new structure for polycrystalline silicon thin film... view more...

Ring-like formations in drying DNA drops could affect hybridization studies
Coffee drinkers are familiar with the ring-shaped stains that result from spilled drops that have dried, in which the brown stain is not evenly distributed, but instead concentrated at the edge. view more (2006-05-12)
Physicists make crystal/liquid interface visible for first time
"Imagine you're a water molecule in a glass of ice water, and you're floating right on the boundary of the ice and the water," proposes Emory University physicist Eric Weeks. "So how do you know if you're a solid or a liquid?" view more (2009-08-11)
Mechanoluminescence event yields novel emissions, reactions
Researchers at the University of Illinois report that a new study of mechanoluminescence revealed extensive atomic and molecular spectral emission not previously seen in a mechanoluminescence event. view more (2007-05-09)
Graphene-based gadgets may be just years away
Researchers at The University of Manchester have produced tiny liquid crystal devices with electrodes made from graphene - an exciting development that could lead to computer and TV displays based on this technology. view more (2008-05-01)
Self-aligning liquid crystal technique could simplify manufacture of display devices
A new technique for creating vertical alignment among liquid crystal molecules could allow development of less costly flexible displays and lead to a better understanding of the factors that govern operation of the popular liquid crystal display systems. view more (2006-09-25)
What scientists know about jewel beetle shimmer
"Jewel beetles" are widely known for their glossy external skeletons that appear to change colors as the angle of view changes. view more (2009-07-24)
Materials scientists find better model for glass creation
Harvard materials scientists have come up with what they believe is a new way to model the formation of glasses, a type of amorphous solid that includes common window glass. view more (2009-11-05)
LCD as a molecular magnifying glass
Dutch researcher Johan Hoogboom has developed a technique for making LCDs (liquid crystal displays) without the need for cleanrooms. This technique is simpler and cheaper than current methods and is based entirely upon the self-ordering of molecules on a surface. Furthermore, the chemist has shown that these LCDs can be used to make DNA visible to... view more... (2004-12-16)
Liquid crystal phases of tiny DNA molecules point up new scenario for first life on Earth
A team led by the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Milan has discovered some unexpected forms of liquid crystals of ultrashort DNA molecules immersed in water, providing a new scenario for a key step in the emergence of life on Earth. view more (2007-11-26)
Liquid crystals show promise in controlling embryonic stem cells
Liquid crystals, the same phase-shifting materials used to display information on cell phones, monitors and other electronic equipment, can also be used to report in real time on the differentiation of embryonic stem cells. view more (2006-03-08)
The dance of crystal structures
The word "crystal" is a technical term; iron and steel, for example, are crystals whereas glass is not. In fact, "crystal" means materials of a crystalline structure. view more (2004-11-10)
Single-Crystal Semiconductor Wire Built into an Optical Fiber
An international science team from Penn State University in the United States and the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom has developed a process for growing a single-crystal semiconductor inside the tunnel of a hollow optical fiber. The device adds new electronic capabilities to optical fibers, whose performance in electronic devices... view more... (2008-03-13)
Cracking a controversial solid state mystery
Scientists can easily explain the structural order that makes steel and aluminium out of molten metal. And they have discovered the molecular changes that take place as water turns to ice. But, despite the fact that glass blowers have been plying their trade since the first century BC, we have only just begun to understand what makes molten glass... view more... (2009-02-09)
A crystal that nature may have missed
For centuries, human beings have been entranced by the captivating glimmer of the diamond. What accounts for the stunning beauty of this most precious gem? As mathematician Toshikazu Sunada explains in an article appearing today in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society, some secrets of the diamond's beauty can be uncovered by a... view more...
