However, expanding this to two-dimensional systems presented new challenges, including the risk of disruptions in the liquid-crystal patterns that would affect light behavior. To overcome this ...

Their simulations, based on machine learning and quantum mechanics, modeled a transition between two distinct liquid phases. This discovery, published in Nature Physics, could have major implications.

These approaches include adding second phase polymers (e.g., rubber, thermoplastics, core–shell polymers, liquid crystals, hyperbranched polymers) and other second phases, such as fibers, ...

Mike’s group is well known for developing the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, applying in situ atomic force microscopy to determine molecular crystal growth mechanisms, innovating ...
