We developed a fluorinated, UV-stable, high birefringence and low viscosity liquid crystal mixture for projection displays. With this mixture in a thin-cell-gap LCOS, we can achieve submillisecond gray-to-gray response time at an elevated temperature, which enables color sequential projection displays with negligible…

During past years, a number of reports have been published on synthesis of tetragonal allotrope of boron, t-B52 phase. However, no unambiguous characterization of the crystal structure has been performed to the present time, while remarkable variation of the a/c lattice-parameter ratio raises strong doubts about its u…

An understanding of the interaction mechanisms between exchangeable cations and layered silicates is of interest from both a basic and an applied point of view. Among 2:1 phyllosilicates, a new family of swelling high-charge synthetic micas has been shown to be potentially useful as decontaminant. However, the locatio…

Inorganic graphene analogues (IGAs) are a huge and fascinating family of compounds that have extraordinary electronic, mechanical, and thermal properties. However, one of the largest problems that face the industrial application of IGAs is their poor processability, which has led to a "bottlenecking" in the developmen…
