Researchers with the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have shown for the first time how to design the basic elements needed for logic operations using a kind of material ...

Researchers have developed a new way to control and manipulate optical signals by embedding a liquid crystal layer into waveguides created with direct laser writing. The new devices enable ...

Scaling up perovskites for potential widespread use in solar cells has been a challenge due to arising defects. Yi Yang, postdoctoral fellow; Ted Sargent, Lynn Hopton Davis and Greg Davis Professor of ...

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 ...

Researchers embedded a liquid crystal layer into a waveguide that was created with direct laser writing (pictured). The resulting hybrid device can be used to change the polarization of light ...
