Quasicrystals are materials with unique, non-periodic symmetry that distinguishes them from conventional crystals.

Researchers developed a bifocal lens based on two layers of liquid crystal (LC) structures. The intensities for the two focal lengths can be easily adjusted by applying external voltage.

That's why they turned to microgravity, which enables the growth of larger and more perfectly structured crystals. Drago, ...

Liquid crystals, nano-structured, biomolecular, and other soft materials are attractive not only because of the richness of observed physics phenomena but also because of the wealth of potential ...
