Using liquid crystals as a medium for assembling structures, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have managed to create a three-dimensional liquid crystal array in the shape of a flower.

Physicists have taken a step toward making 'metalenses' even more useful -- by making them reconfigurable. They did this by harnessing nanoscale forces to infiltrate liquid crystals between those ...

Researchers developed a bifocal lens based on two layers of liquid crystal (LC) structures. The intensities for the two focal lengths can be easily adjusted by applying external voltage. WASHINGTON — ...

For many farsighted people, having different pairs of glasses for different viewing distances has been the norm. But with new technology, one pair of glasses could do the trick. Adaptive liquid ...

If you’re cursed with bifocals or fear they’re in your future, you’ll be glad to know optical scientists at the University of Arizona have been working on liquid-crystal eyeglass lenses that can ...

Robots and cameras of the future could be made of liquid crystals, thanks to a new discovery that significantly expands the potential of the chemicals already common in computer displays and digital ...

(CNN) — Finnish eyewear company IXI is gearing up to launch smart glasses that look just like ordinary spectacles, but are able to “autofocus” based on the perceived needs of the wearer. The glasses ...

CLEVELAND--For more than 500 years, humans have mastered the art of refracting light by shaping glass into lenses, then bending or combining those lenses to amplify and clarify images either close-up ...
