Imagine a "smart fluid" whose internal structure can be rearranged just by changing temperature. In a new study published in Matter, researchers report a way to overcome a long-standing limitation in ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

A team of scientists has created a new shape-changing polymer that could transform how future soft materials are constructed. A team of scientists has created a new shape-changing polymer that could ...

Abstract: liquid crystal (LC) technology is a promising hardware solution for realizing extremely large reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) due to its advantages in cost-effectiveness, ...
