Gram-to-Kilogram Scale-Up Synthesis of 2,2’-Diallylbisphenol through a Microchannel Reactor [PDF]
A continuous-flow synthetic platform utilizing a microchannel reactor was developed here to realize the gram-to-kilogram scale-up synthesis of 2,2’-diallylbisphenol A (DABPA) via thermal Claisen rearrangement with high efficiency and safety.

Electro-optical switching by liquid-crystal controlled metasurfaces [PDF]
We study the optical response of a metamaterial surface created by a lattice of split-ring resonators covered with a nematic liquid crystal and demonstrate millisecond timescale switching between electric and magnetic resonances of the metasurface.

Realization of a four-electrode liquid crystal device with full in-plane director rotation [PDF]
A liquid crystal device with micrometer-scale hexagonal electrodes has been fabricated and characterized. By using weak anchoring at the liquid crystal interfaces, the orientation of the director is completely governed by the applied electric fields. The

Artificial web of disclination lines in nematic liquid crystals
Disclination lines are topological defects in molecular orientation widely found in liquid crystals. Here Wang et al. use a surface patterning technique to produce a very stable freestanding 3D array of ½ twist disclinations, which could be exploited in ...

Three-dimensional solitary waves with electrically tunable direction of propagation in nematics
In a previous work, the authors have demonstrated the formation of localized waves in nematic liquid crystals driven by an electric field. Here they demonstrate the realization of solitary waves of (3+2)D type which can be steered along longitudinal and ...

Electrically driven three-dimensional solitary waves as director bullets in nematic liquid crystals
Solitary waves which maintain their shape have many fascinating physical and mathematical properties. Here the authors observe waves trapped along three spatial dimensions in nematic liquid crystals due to an electric field and show that these director ...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Quantum Computing Using Liquid Crystal Solvents [PDF]
Liquid crystals offer several advantages as solvents for molecules used for nuclear magnetic resonance quantum computing (NMRQC). The dipolar coupling between nuclear spins manifest in the NMR spectra of molecules oriented by a liquid crystal permits a ...
