Liquid Crystals Propel Microscopic Movement: A Breakthrough by UNIST Researchers

Ulsan, South Korea (SPX) Mar 14, 2024

A pioneering discovery has been made by researchers at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), revealing a new principle of motion within the microscopic realm. This principle allows objects to move in a directed manner by periodically changing their sizes in a liquid crystal medium. Spearheaded by Professor Jonwoo Jeong and his team from the Department of Physics, the fi
