Robots and cameras of the future could be made of liquid crystals, thanks to a new discovery that significantly expands the potential of the chemicals already common in computer displays and digital ...

If you were able to visualize the passage of time, it may appear as looping ribbons of color, these fragments ribboning and glinting whenever they refracted light. Researchers at the University of ...

University of Colorado Boulder physicists have created a “time crystal” visible to the human eye. Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek first proposed the concept of a time crystal in 2012. While other ...

Adapted from an article run in CU Boulder Today by Daniel Strain A team led by RASEI Fellow Ivan Smalyukh has discovered a new type of liquid crystal that exists in perpetual, rhythmic motion, ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Scientists grow ultra-uniform perovskite nanocrystals at room temperature, boosting yields and brighter light for future ...

A study finds chiral structures, with mirror-image configurations, can emerge from nonchiral systems, suggesting new ways to engineer these materials. Hold your hands out in front of you, and no ...

Scientists have shown that time crystals are possible over the past decade, whereas at one time it was thought to be impossible. The discovery by the Boulder team lays claim to a time crystal existing ...
