Liquid crystals form a unique state of matter that blends the molecular mobility of liquids with the organised structure of crystalline solids. Their phase transitions, ranging from nematic to smectic ...
Liquid crystals represent a unique state of matter, exhibiting properties that bridge the behaviours of conventional liquids and crystalline solids. Among the various mesophases, smectic phases are ...
This schematic illustrates the MALIO software, a machine learning structure analysis tool designed to analyze and distinguish the local structures of BP I and BP II liquid crystal phases. By ...
Preliminary studies of the highly polar organic molecule DIO revealed a mysterious liquid crystal phase between the nematic and ferroelectric nematic phases. X-ray diffraction studies showed that this ...

Scientists observe matter behaving between liquid and solid in a new phase
For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...
(Nanowerk News) Ice surfaces have a thin layer of water below its melting temperature of 0 °C. Such premelting phenomenon is important for skating and snowflake growth. Similarly, liquid often ...
The liquid crystals used in displays nowadays are usually in a nematic phase, i.e. a liquid-like state of almost parallel oriented molecules. However, there is another liquid crystal phase which has a ...

Observation of a new phase of matter at the boundary between solid and liquid
The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, ...
This research could provide a means to give a deeper insight into the transformation between different structures in a wider variety of materials. This schematic illustrates the MALIO software, a ...
