What are Liquid Crystals?

[@natethegreat5470]

How dangerous is the "fluid" inside LCDs? Can it leak out of the monitor by any chance

[@tehfilaminer]

It wouldn't be able to leak out unless at temperatures above 70 degree celcius at which point the LC is just a Liquid. Your monitor wouldn't get to temperatures that high unless you spilled boiling water on it haha

[@tehfilaminer]

It terms of being dangerous, it's not dangerous at all. Take it from a guy who worked in Liquid Crystal (LC) labs for the past few years. I built the LCDs you use now :)

Is this wat they put in the CV shot?

[@ERICK-di1yz]

This is exactly what they put g, add 5G and its a recipe for disaster

[@karlswanson95]

Can nematic (electrically activated) liquid crystals be used to control the thermal conductivity or maybe it only works if the layers are thin and would have insufficient mass to effect a usable change?

[@mitchrijkaard6757]

I want to study this, like a Masters degree.. What would I have to study to learn about liquid crystals and holograms etc?

[@bsrap]

Materials engineering would be the course for you, then

[@dalalaljazzaf8139]

leeds uni is doing research on that

[@theangledsaxon6765]

Materials science

[@Doors_of_janua]

Did you ever start. My guess is no. Prove me wrong please

I thought it was solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, and now liquid crystal.

[@allaamrauf8214]

There's also the Bose-Einstein Condensate which forms at absolute zero

[@1.4142]

There are far more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

[@reformed_attempt_1]

it would be more useful if they taught how states of matter are defined instead of memorizing different words like monkeys

[@AwakeningLeela]

They are all different states of water.

Where's the metallotropic?

[@mergencytype3846]

What was it?

[@karlswanson95]

My understanding is when a material goes from solid (lower entropy) to liquid (higher entropy) it absorbs heat generally. Do you know of this happen to any significant degree for nematic liquid crystals when they transition from energized to non energized?

There’s also plasma

Tell me more!!!!

[@lordtrophies]

Is liquid crystal toxic? By touching, ingestion, inhaling, etc...?

[@mannb1023]

I guess it's as toxic as a regular solid crystal would be, so not toxic? I'm not sure

[@SpacioArte]

No

[@Michelle-fm3gu]

​@SpacioArte how do you know? Can you share more details?

Cholesteric liquid crystals ???? Please answer I have project 📍📍📍📍📍📍📍📍

[@FrozenCelestePizza]

Did it go well?

[@user-sq4id2mc9n]

Cholesteric, smectic, nematic

I have never seen a more pointless or useless animation. Nothing about the animation improves learning or helps students to understand anything, but I'm sure you spent gobs of time and money making it. You made an animation with the words the speaker said. Woohoo? Hurray? What is the point? Do you really consider this education? Was this an animation project for first year art students or a video intended to teach something useful? This is the kind of video I saw as a child in Kindergarten and you think this is what students of higher education deserve? The efforts made by universities these days to actually educate anyone is absolutely shameful. Clearly your average youtube creator is better at educating than our established institutions.
