Scientists have developed a framework for precisely controlling 3D-printed liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), materials that ...

A class of synthetic soft materials called liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can change shape in response to heat, similar to ...

Nature often demonstrates extraordinary ingenuity in material design, where structure dictates function. Examples include the ...

This library allows an Arduino board to control LiquidCrystal displays (LCDs) based on the Hitachi HD44780 (or a compatible) chipset, which is found on most text-based LCDs. This library is free ...

Although soft driving technologies relying on tendons and smart material transducers (e.g., dielectric elastomers, shape memory alloys) offer more ease of controllability compared to pneumatics, the ...

Our technology could be applied both for vapor and liquid sensing, advancing the state-of-the-art of other LC sensors. (50,51) For examples, polymer-stabilized LCs at a low cross-linking degree have ...

Drone shows are an increasingly popular form of large-scale light display. These shows incorporate hundreds to thousands of airborne bots, each programmed to fly in paths that together form intricate ...

As Colorado's only public urban research university, CU Denver educates a diverse student body of more than 14,000 students through quality academics, ambitious research and creative work, and ...

Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone, DNA ...
