Priyanka Kumari, Bijaya Basnet, Maxim Lavrentovich, and Oleg Lavrentovich have published an article in the journal Science on chiral ground states of ferroelectric liquid crystals. An object is considered chiral if it can be distinguished from its mirror image. Chirality is a characteristic of living organisms and is usually caused by chiral chemical structure of constituent molecules. The work by Priyanka Kumari, Bijaya Basnet and others, published in Science on March 22, describes structural chirality in a recently discovered ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal formed by polar molecul...

This is particularly effective for first-gen students, international students and those students who have been historically minoritized within higher education. While research has shown the effectiveness of creating a sense of belonging for undergraduate students, the graduate student experience is different, according to three Kent State administrators who have authored an article on the topic for Inside Higher Educatio...
