Researchers at Osaka University have revealed a link between the equations describing strain caused by atomic dislocations in ...

Batteries with "single-crystal electrodes" could power electric vehicles (EVs) for millions of miles — meaning their ...

As you shop at the service station in REPO, you’ll notice energy crystals among the items. While a lot of the shop items are self-explanatory (guns? grenades? health packs?), these mysterious an ...

Meaning "thread" in Greek, nematic LCs are monostable and return to their original alignment when the electric field is removed. In 1888, liquid crystals were identified by Austrian botanist ...

Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a ...

The reverse piezoelectric effect occurs when an electrical field is applied to the crystal. The electric field interacts with the dipole moments within the crystal, causing it to expand or contract, ...

THE growth of barium titanate single crystals and the ferro-electric behaviour of their pseudocubic modification have been described earlier 1, 2, and more detailed data can now be given.
