In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have successfully created a new phase of matter known as time crystals, which fascinatingly exhibit behaviors akin to perpetual motion. We will ...

Adapted from an article run in CU Boulder Today by Daniel Strain A team led by RASEI Fellow Ivan Smalyukh has discovered a new type of liquid crystal that exists in perpetual, rhythmic motion, ...

Researchers have developed a machine learning workflow to optimize the output force of photo-actuated organic crystals. Using LASSO regression to identify key molecular substructures and Bayesian ...

Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being utilized to optimize the research paradigm and shorten the time from discovery to application of novel functional materials, pharmaceuticals, and fine ...

The proposed method is at least 73 times more efficient than conventional techniques and leads to crystals with a maximum blocking force of 37.0 mN. Materials that convert external stimuli into ...
