The chemical structures of the materials under investigation are depicted in Fig. 2 and compared to DIO and RM734. Mesogens of the so called AUUQU-n-N homologous series include fluorinated building ...
Colloidal crystals are used to understand fundamentals of atomic rearrangements in condensed matter and build complex metamaterials with unique functionalities. Simulations predict a multitude of self ...
In a paper recently published in Physical Review Letters, Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers offer a new theory that predicts defect density across a variety of phase transitions. The research ...
A new study published in Physical Review Letters explores the possibility that a strongly supercooled, first-order phase transition in the early universe could explain gravitational wave signals ...
