Researchers have developed a machine-learning workflow to optimize the output force of photo-actuated organic crystals. Using ...

Opaque or translucent materials can produce shadows. Opaque materials, like a brick or a toy, completely block light and create a shadow on the opposite side of where the light is coming from.

Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal ... By harnessing the ability to control symmetry in these quantum dots, scientists can tailor the materials to have specific light and ...

Most light-induced polymer material formation processes occur under irradiation from a single light source, which limits their temporal and spatial precision. For example, some photoactivated ...
