By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...
LCD technology utilizes the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. These crystals do not emit light directly but use a backlight or reflector to produce images in ...
In 1888, liquid crystals were identified by Austrian botanist Friedrich Reinitzer and German physicist Otto Lehmann. Studying the cholesterol in carrots using a temperature-controlled polarizing ...
