The liquid crystals used in displays nowadays are usually in a nematic phase, i.e. a liquid-like state of almost parallel oriented molecules. However, there is another liquid crystal phase which has a ...

Understanding the molecular interactions in binary liquid mixtures is fundamental to both theoretical studies and practical applications in chemistry and engineering. In these systems, the diverse ...

The very first life on earth is thought to have developed from 'protocells' -- liquid mixtures of many different types of molecules. Researchers have now shown that in such mixtures, small imbalances ...

Membrane separation is a promising strategy for separating organic liquid mixtures, which is an essential step in the pharmaceutical and hydrocarbon industries. In this study, researchers developed ...

DOE programs addressed in this chapter—namely, coal preparation, coal-liquid mixtures, and coalbed methane recovery—currently constitute relatively minor components of the total DOE coal program.

A spinning top submerged in a liquid can make a striking fractal structure. Fractals are patterns and structures that repeat themselves at smaller scales when zoomed in. Bavand Keshavarz and Michela ...
