Researchers have developed a molecular switch that changes a liquid crystal's readout color based on a chemical input. This new development may open the way for using liquid crystals in detecting ...

Color-changing panther chameleons are among the most disco-ready lizards, courtesy of tiny, built-in crystals that rapidly create multicolored hues. Only adult male panther chameleons (Furcifer ...

Researchers have made a new family of materials in a rainbow of hues that can change color as they are heated and return to their original color when cooled (Chem. Mater. 2019, DOI: ...

Chemists have unexpectedly made two differently colored crystals -- one orange, one blue -- from one chemical in the same flask while studying a special kind of molecular connection called an agostic ...
