New liquid crystal-synthesizing technique for energy-efficient running of liquid crystal displays!

The material properties of milk, paint, ink and liquid crystals can be changed hugely. Since all these contains colloids, Kent State University scientists have discovered that manipulating the size of colloids, micron-sized or nanometer-sized particles can lead to changing their material properties!

It has been found that when the size and concentration of the colloids and liquid crystals are tuned properly, it can synthesize liquid crystals with specific molecular properties by a new technique.
This manipulation can help reduce the amount of power needed to run liquid crystal displays! For example, computer screens. It could also create a range of different liquid crystal materials for a wide variety of applications.
