Covers the properties of soft matter, including self-assembly, polymers, colloids, intermolecular forces, and the significance of soft materials in diverse applications.
Explores birefringence in optics, polarizing light using materials with two refractive indices, and manipulating polarization states with wave plates and retarders.
Explores the alignment, viscosity, elastic constants, phases, and unique properties of liquid crystals, including their reflection of light and visualization techniques in microscopy.
Explores materials modelling, focusing on predicting and designing material properties through computation, including defect analysis, coherence time calculations, and quantum simulations.
