Center researchers are collaborating with spin-off Displaytech (now part of Micron Technologies) to develop ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) materials for application in picoprojectors. The high-quality time sequential color and high brightness enabled by FLC switching speed, and high fill fact
In a photovoltaic cell, an incident photon creates an electron (black circle in top sketch) and a hole (open circle).
Ionic micellar assemblies have been simulated over μs time scales on GPUs (image on cover of Soft Matter).
The Materials Research Facilities Network hosted a Shared Facilities Workshop, held at Northwestern University, Nov 1-2, 2011.
