We briefly review studies of liquid crystal films suspended in submillimeter size grids for
biosensing applications and beyond. Due to intense recent research, the sensitivity of liquid …

In this review article, we analyze recent progress in the application of liquid crystal-assisted
advanced functional materials for sensing biological and chemical analytes. Multiple …

The ability to control both the mobility and chemical compositions of microliter-scale
aqueous droplets is an essential prerequisite for next-generation open surface microfluidics …

Aquatic functional liquid crystals, which are ordered molecular assemblies that work in water
environment, are described in this review. Aquatic functional liquid crystals are liquid …

Biomimetic artificial surfaces that enable the manipulation of gas bubble mobility have been
explored in a wide range of applications in nanomaterial synthesis, surface defouling …

The method of surface grating decay has been used to measure surface diffusion in the
glasses of two rod-like molecules posaconazole (POS) and itraconazole (ITZ). Although …

For a series of phospholipid coated calamitic nematic liquid crystal droplets (5CB, 6CB, 7CB,
E7 and MLC7023) of diameter∼ 18 μm, the addition of chiral dopant leaves the sign of …

Sapphire is a typical hard and brittle material, making it difficult to investigate its plastic
deformation behavior using conventional mechanical experimental methods. Although …

The development of stimuli‐responsive materials suitable for use in wearable sensors is a
key unresolved challenge. Liquid crystals (LCs) are particularly promising, as they do not …

The societal impact of liquid crystals (LCs) in electrooptical displays arrived after decades of
research involving molecular-level design of LCs and their alignment layers, and elucidation …
