(Phys.org) —Researchers of the Dutch FOM Foundation have discovered that plastic crystals, which constitute a special type of matter, can be made with the help of rod-shaped particles. The crystals could be used, for example, in colour monitor screens based on electronic ink. The researchers published their results on 21 January in Nature Communications.
