A new laser technique converts common dyes into conductive graphene, allowing circuits and sensors to be painted onto ...

Liquid crystal elastomers exhibit their best shape-morphing and mechanical properties when individual chains composed of liquid crystalline parts are aligned with each other. The researchers printed ...
