Liquid-crystal materials have often been referred to as a curious phase of matter, but their impact on modern technology has been profound. With the roots of their discovery in derivatives of ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or behavior. Specifically, studies show that under magnetic fields above 100 tesla ...
