Not exact matches

But liquid crystals are relatively slow: Each molecule must entirely change orientation to alter how it interacts with light, to change color or show a new image on a screen, for instance.

«Small variations at the molecular level could induce changes in the liquid crystal structure that are viewable by microscopy.»

As ice crystals form at a bubble's base, the change from liquid to solid releases heat.

This property means that these liquid crystals hold potential for biomedical applications, where their changing internal patterns could signal the presence of specific proteins or other biological macromolecules.

Liquid crystal elastomers are spatially patterned to create microactuators with controlled local volume changes.

Researchers from Monash University have discovered that graphene oxide sheets can change structure to become liquid crystal droplets spontaneously and without any specialist equipment.

This combined with the fact that we have proved it can be changed into liquid crystal simply and cheaply, strengthens the prospect that it may one day be used for a new kind of drug delivery system.»

Inside, the changes include «less retro» gauge faces, a new seven - inch thin film transistor (or TFT — liquid crystal display) cluster, a new wheel design, new color and material selections, and new aluminum bezels and brushed metal finishes.

The concept's liquid crystal glass roof (allowing it to change from transparent to translucent) could be feasible for production, albeit with a high price tag.

Maybe I'll change my mind in a month or a year or in 50 years when I'm declared legally blind from staring at too many liquid crystals, but at the moment, I'm fine with it.

Her attention to the illusory surface textures of protean forms is not solely attentive to liquid crystals but extends metaphorically to other social and scientific developments (a fictional Jack - and - the - Beanstalk becomes a modern genetic scientist, or crystals self - organise into a palace whose display function changes consumer society forever). . .

The most significant changes in the new D - series cloud datasets are: 1) revised radiance calibrations to remove spurious changes in the long - term record, 2) increased cirrus detection sensitivity over land, 3) increased low - level cloud detection sensitivity in polar regions, 4) reduced biases in cirrus cloud properties using an ice crystal microphysics model in place of a liquid droplet microphysics model, and 5) increased detail about the variations of cloud properties.
