Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (FNLCs) offer fast, tunable polarization and low‐voltage operation but suffer from poor polarization retention at zero field. Semiconductor‐modified FNLCs enhance polarization retention and exhibit short‐ and long‐term electro‐optical responses, while also supporting spike‐type signal integrations.

Observations on Symmetry Breaking [PDF]
, 2009 A common way to exploit symmetry in constraint satisfaction problems is to transform the symmetric CSP instance by adding constraints in such a way the new CSP has at least one solution from each symmetry equivalence class of solutions in the original CSP, and ideally only one.
