Researchers improved organic solar cell fabrication by controlling molecular assembly, enhancing efficiency and stability, bringing the technology closer to commercial viability. OSCs are a compelling ...

A hexagonal columnar liquid crystal phase was formed by pairing a porphyrin Au III cation and a pentacyanocyclopentadienide (PCCp⁻) anion in water, stabilized by triethylene glycol (TEG) chains.

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The platform created by the researchers enables the formation and dynamic tuning of ...

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 ...

Tunable photonic crystal based on a self-organising liquid crystal structure in an optical microcavity (Fig. Marcin Muszyński, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw). A team of researchers from the ...
