When Lisa Tran set out to investigate patterns in liquid crystals, she didn't know what to expect. When she first looked through the microscope, she saw dancing iridescent spheres with fingerprint-like patterns etched into them that spiraled and flattened as the solution they were floated in changed.

Liquid Crystal Research May Lead to Creation of New Materials That Can Be Actively Controlled Materials And Structures, Math Patterns, Hemat Energi, Research Images, Fluid Dynamics, Liquid Crystal, Material Science, University Of Massachusetts, Crystal Display

Contributing geometric and topological analyses of micro-materials, mathematicians aided experimental physicists by successfully explaining the observed "beautiful and complex patterns revealed" in three-dimensional liquid crystal experiments. The work is expected to lead to creation of new materials that can be actively controlled.

Silicone liquid crystal stiffens with repeated compression:  A liquid crystal sample like this one, seen under a microscope, gets tougher when repeatedly compressed, according to research at Rice University.

(Phys.org) —Squeeze a piece of silicone and it quickly returns to its original shape, as squishy as ever. But scientists at Rice University have discovered that the liquid crystal phase of silicone becomes 90 percent stiffer when silicone is gently and repeatedly compressed. Their research could lead to new strategies for self-healing materials or biocompatible materials that mimic human tissues.
