As the world’s leading conference in optics and photonics of liquid crystals, the 2013 Optics of Liquid Crystals (OLC 2013) in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA will provide a venue for intellectual and enlightening discussions of ideas at the emerging and frontier of liquid crystal science and technology in optics, photonics and displays
New foam-like material could help road safety
Researchers have found a way to create and stabilize so-called 'blue phase liquid crystals', which can be switched on and off incredibly quickly.
Researchers have created a foam-like shock-absorbing material that protects like a metal but is lighter, stronger and reusable.
