Fluctuation modes of a twist-bend nematic liquid crystal

Materials for semiconductor devices that can bend , fold , twist , and stretch

© 2014 Materials Research Society MRS BULLETIN • VOLUME 39 • JUNE 2014 • www.mrs.org/bulletin Introduction Research discoveries over the last 10 years provide routes to advanced electronic and optoelectronic systems that offer linear elastic mechanical responses to large-strain deformations. 1 , 2 Such devices can be bent, twisted, folded, stretched, and conformally wrapped onto arbitrarily cur...

Bend, stretch, and touch: Locating a finger on an actively deformed transparent sensor array

The development of bendable, stretchable, and transparent touch sensors is an emerging technological goal in a variety of fields, including electronic skin, wearables, and flexible handheld devices. Although transparent tactile sensors based on metal mesh, carbon nanotubes, and silver nanowires demonstrate operation in bent configurations, we present a technology that extends the operation mode...

Water dimer hydrogen bond stretch, donor torsion overtone, and ‘‘in-plane bend’’ vibrations

We report the measurement and analysis of 64 new Ka50←0,1 and Ka51←0,1 transitions of (H2O)2 and 16 new Ka50←0 transitions of (D2O)2 by terahertz laser vibration–rotation– tunneling spectroscopy of a planar supersonic expansion between 140.5 and 145.5 cm. The transitions in both isotopomers correspond to A8 vibrations assigned to the hydrogen bond stretch ~translational! and donor torsion overt...
