Penn Researchers Demonstrate New Configurations for Water-Based Liquid Crystals
In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from Penn Arts and Sciences and Swarthmore College demonstrate new configurations for water-based liquid crystals. The research, by led by Department of Physics and Astronomy postdoctoral fellow Joonwoo Jeong and graduate students Zoey Davidson and Louis Kang, advances the class of materials’ viability for use in a variety of technological, biological, and medical applications. The researchers worked closely with James M. Skinner Professor of Science Arjun Yodh and Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Physics Tom Lubensky at Penn, and Peter Collings, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Swarthmore
