Precise control over molecular movement is of fundamental and practical importance in
physics, biology, and chemistry. At nanoscale, the peculiar functioning principles and the …

In current photo-based patterning techniques, an image is projected onto a photosensitive
material to generate a pattern in the area where the light is focused. Thus, the size, shape …

We have demonstrated a paper-like diffractive film in which nano-structured liquid crystal
droplets are embedded in elastomeric monomer incorporated polymer matrix by …

Photoalignment materials, such as the azobenzene-based PAAD series studied here, are
becoming increasingly important in liquid crystal-based optical devices and displays. Yet …
