Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Fabrication of liquid-crystalline polymer networks with periodic nanoscale features is highly desired for photonic applications. Here, a printable photonic polymer coating has been fabricated from a monodomain liquid crystalline blue phase (BP) network. The BP polymer coating with high reflectivity is covalently linked to the glass substrate, which can be patterned by using an LC-ink to swell the network. The degree of swelling depends on the printed amount of LC-ink which can be controlled through adjusting the voltages of the inkjet printer. Arbitrary multicolour patterns covering the visible spectrum from 451 to 618 nm can be printed and erased multiple times, making these BP polymer coatings promising as rewritable photonic papers and responsive photonic materials.
