These newly discovered spinning crystals twist, break, and heal themselves, revealing a strange new side of solid matter.
At temperatures where most molecular movement ceases, certain organic crystals begin their self-healing journey.
Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals represent a novel state of soft matter that combines the fluidity and long-range orientational order of nematic phases with spontaneous polarisation typically ...
