Scientists from UCL and the University of Cambridge have revealed that "space ice"—long thought to be completely ...

"Space ice" contains tiny crystals and is not a completely disordered material like liquid water, as previously assumed, ...

The Universe’s most abundant ice isn’t formless—it’s secretly laced with crystals. And that might change how we think about ...

Space ice” contains tiny crystals and is not, as previously assumed, a completely disordered material like liquid water, ...

"Ice in the rest of the universe has long been considered a snapshot of liquid water – that is, a disordered arrangement fixed in place. Our findings show this is not entirely true." ...

Scientists found low-density amorphous ice in space isn’t fully random - it hides tiny crystals, reshaping our understanding ...

Water frozen in the depths of space has long been considered a shapeless, frozen fog. For decades, scientists believed it ...

Compared with ordinary volume holographic gratings, holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal(H-PDLC) grating has the advantage of adjustable electronically controlled diffraction efficiency. In ...

2-D optical phased array (OPA) antenna based on a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) spatial light modulator is introduced. Diffraction efficiency of the 1-D OPA for fine angle beam steering and 2-D OPA ...

New research led by the University of Liverpool in collaboration with the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia) ...

Liquid crystals are compounds that exhibit intermediate properties between liquids and solids. In this paper, a compound related to thermotropic liquid crystals is considered. That is, in a certain ...
