The direct exposure of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is widely related to several
adverse health effects. Therefore, an accurate amount of its usage is necessary required …

Ever since the advent of microwave technology, tunable devices, such as phase shifters,
resonators, and antennas, have been indispensable in applications requiring …

A simple and effective approach for vertical alignment of liquid crystals (LCs) over a
functionalized transparent flexible substrate is described. Surface characterization of this …

Liquid-crystal devices are a promising cheap alternative for terahertz light modulation, albeit
they suffer from problems associated with thick cells. Here we describe a few-micron-thick …

While most photomechanical materials developed to date have relied on free‐space
illumination to drive actuation, this strategy fails when direct line‐of‐site access is precluded …

This work proposes the use of the refractive index sensitivity of non-radiating anapole
modes of high-refractive-index nanoparticles arranged in planar metasurfaces as a novel …

The merging of the materials science paradigms of liquid crystals and 2D materials promises
superb new opportunities for the advancement of the fields of optoelectronics and photonics …

Die Chemie und Physik der Grenzflächen und Kolloide gehört klassisch in das Gebiet der
Festkörperphysik einerseits und der Thermodynamik andererseits. Erst seit Ende der 1990er …

With the development of conformable photonic platforms, particularly those that could be
interfaced with the human body or integrated into wearable technology, there is an ever …

Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) are a special class of optical fibers with a periodic
arrangement of microstructured holes located in the fiber's cladding. Light confinement is …
