Abstract: Photonic crystals (PCs) constructed from colloidal building blocks have attracted increasing attention because their brilliant structural colors may find broad applications in paints, sensors, displays, and security devices. However, producing high‐quality structural colors on flexible… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/c9nr07143a
Abstract: Nanoporous media exhibit structures significantly smaller than the wavelengths of visible light and can thus act as photonic metamaterials. Their optical functionality is not determined by the properties of the base materials, but rather by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1246/cl.171208
Abstract: Novel liquid-crystalline N,N′-diarylsquaramides 1a and 1b were designed and synthesized, and their properties were elucidated. The squaramides exhibited thermotropic columnar liquid-crystalline phases at low temperature including room temperature. X-ray crystallographic analysis of methoxy derivative 1c… read more here.
