The researchers used an X-ray microbeam during printing to locally measure liquid crystal alignment and direction inside the printer nozzle. A class of synthetic soft materials called liquid crystal ...

A class of synthetic soft materials called liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can change shape in response to heat, similar to how muscles contract and relax in response to signals from the nervous ...

This simulation study proposes a chemical mechanism to define a surrogate to the tumor control during micro- and mini-beam radiation therapy (MBRT). The main focus is proton-MBRT (pMBRT) and the ...
