My recent work explores this concept by showing how a triangular pattern is formed from the clustering of small, localized vortices in a droplet of a chiral liquid crystal, which we have named ...

Do the liquid crystals physically protect the bacteria ... are roughly oriented in a lens-shaped droplet, they have positional randomness, meaning they can move quite a lot within this arrangement.

Microdisplays based on liquid-crystal-on-silicon technology may soon gain wider recognition as they penetrate an increasing number of markets, ranging from electronic viewfinders to miniature data ...
