The liquid crystalline ferroelectric nematic (NF) phase is well known for its distinctive physical and electrical properties, namely the bulk polarity. It is therefore important to consider whether the nematic bulk properties are affected b...
Investigations of interfacial dynamics of droplet formation via a particle-free flow visualization method [0.03%]

In this paper, we investigate the interfacial dynamics of droplet formation in a flow-focusing microchannel using a particle-free liquid crystal (LC) polarization method. Driven by flow-induced shear, the anisotropic LC molecules reorient t...
Negative thermal expansion and its manifestations within confined lamellar-structured concentrated surfactant solutions [0.03%]

Matthew Kaboolian et al.
Concentrated surfactant pastes often form lamellar liquid-crystalline phases whose processing depends on alignment, confinement, temperature, and defect topology. Here, we investigate temperature-driven lamellar contraction and parabolic fo...
Correlating structural and rheological properties of bulk and granular chitosan-collagen I hydrogels [0.03%]

Phase inversion emulsification (PIE) is an energy-efficient route to nanoemulsions, but its dynamics are difficult to resolve in conventional stirred systems because formulation, interfacial transport, and hydrodynamic effects are strongly ...
Room-temperature columnar liquid crystalline organic semiconductors based on pyrazino[2,3- g]quinoxaline: synthesis, characterization, sensing and hole mobility studies [0.03%]
基于吡嗪并［2,3-ｇ］夸噪醒的柱状列取向有机半导体液晶的室温合成、表征、传感及空穴迁移率研究

Neichoihoi Lhouvum et al.
We have synthesized three molecules based on the pyrazino[2,3-g]quinoxaline core, where each structure possesses pendant phenyl rings linked to terminal alkoxy substituents via a phenyl acetate group. The molecules are differentiated by the...

Photoelasticity is a qualitative and quantitative optical technique to image internal stress distributions in transparent materials. In the past few decades, discrete photoelastic particles have been used as a proxy for dry granular materia...
Light-controlled membrane remodeling in gel-fluid phase-separated giant vesicles using photoswitchable lipids [0.03%]
采用光切换脂质在凝胶-流体相分离的巨大囊泡中控制膜重塑

Tsu-Wang Sun et al.
Photoswitchable lipids enable optical control of membrane area, mechanics and phase behavior, offering a platform to study stimuli-responsive biomimetic systems. Here we ask how the spatial organization of coexisting membrane phases governs...
