Crystal Light has made drinking water decidedly more fun for over 40 years, much to the delight of some of my favorite people, people who “don’t like water.” Fascinating. Now, for the first time, ...

Light enters the display, goes through a polarizer, and is twisted by a liquid crystal material. The first successful LCDs used two types of liquid crystals – chiral and nematic. By combining ...

Studying the cholesterol in carrots using a temperature-controlled polarizing microscope, they noticed that the light ... crystal when heat was applied. By 1907, Germany-based Merck was selling ...

Powdered drink brand Crystal Light is launching a ready-to-drink cocktail in a can that will be available in some stores this month. The new Crystal Light Vodka Refreshers are a lower-calorie ...

Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs ... The release of the encapsulated drugs can be triggered by external stimuli, such as temperature, pH, or light, enabling spatiotemporal control over drug ...

This change in orientation affects the light's ability to pass through the liquid crystal layer, enabling the display to produce images. An LCD consists of several layers, including two polarizing ...

PNCs have great potential in next-generation solar cells and high-efficiency displays, as their ability to absorb and emit light can be ... shape of PNCs using a liquid crystal (LC) as an ...

Hughes continued to be innovators in the field and in 1983 reported a 'liquid-crystal light valve,' which was the first reflective spatial light modulator. Five years later, an LCOS spatial light ...

Liquid-crystal-on-silicon-based televisions are available ... metal patterned above the silicon to flex in order to deflect light. Microelectromechanical-system chips have to be hermetically ...
