Sommario/riassunto |
|
"The responsive nature and diversity of liquid crystals provide tremendous opportunities as well as challenges for insights in fundamental science, and opens the door to various applications. Most modern electronic displays are liquid crystal-based, but R&D is moving rapidly beyond into such areas as electro-optic devices, energy, molecular motors, tunable lasers, and biosensors. This unique reference guides readers to the advances and directions of liquid crystal research, helping spur continued progress in the field. It emphasizes the chemistry, physics, and applications of liquid crystals in photonics, power generators, lasers, molecular motors, carbon nanotubes, and biosensors"-- |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The revised and updated edition of 'Arms control: the new guide to negotiations and agreements' contains the most authoritative and comprehensive survey ever published of the documents related to arms control. All major agreements reached since the second half of the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nineteenth century through to mid-2002 are critically analysed and assessed. |
