Their research could lead to new strategies for self-healing Springer Liquid crystal displays are ubiquitous. By Editorial Staff Member On June 5, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In EPL News. Shila Garg (center), professor of physics at The College of Wooster, is overseeing research by rising seniors Matt Schmitthenner (left) and Theresa Albon (right) on a new family of liquid crystals this summer. Their soft character is due to continuous symmetry breaking by which LC phases are .. Now, Polish physicists have demonstrated that the application of a very strong alternating electric field to thin liquid crystal cells leads to a new distinct dynamic effect in the response of the cells. Typical representatives of soft materials, with great application potential, are various liquid crystals phases [6]. Symmetry breaking and structure of a mixture of nematic liquid crystals and anisotropic nanoparticles. But scientists at Rice University have discovered that the liquid crystal phase of silicone becomes 90 percent stiffer when silicone is gently and repeatedly compressed. Soft condensed matter physics : Liquid crystals – classification, thermotropic ( nematic, cholesteric and smectic ) and lyotropic liquid crystals – mention of applications of liquid crystals – basic concepts of emulsions, gels & foams. Milan Svetec1,2,3 and Mitja Slavinec1,3. Long-Wu Li1,2a and Luo-Gen Deng1. Today, the main areas of research at the Institute are Astronomy & Astrophysics, Light & Matter Physics, Soft Condensed Matter and Theoretical Physics.

Liquid Crystals The Editorial Board of EPL is delighted to showcase an open compilation of the most downloaded liquid crystals papers that have been published in the journal over the past three years. A Letters Journal Exploring the Frontiers of Physics. Nematic Liquid Crystal Locking Menisci. Random lasing from dye-doped chiral nematic liquid crystals in oriented and non-oriented cells. Soft matter physics describes such materials as liquid crystals, which are the materials used to make liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
