Practically every display technology in use today relies on the flat, energy-efficient construction made possible by liquid crystals. These displays provide visually-crisp, vibrantly-colored images that a short time ago were thought only possible in science fiction. Liquid crystals are known mainly for their use in display technologies, but they also provide many diverse and useful applications: adaptive optics, electro-optical devices, films, lasers, photovoltaics, privacy windows, skin cleansers and soaps, and thermometers. The striking images of liquid crystals changing color under polarized lighting conditions are even on display in many museums and art galleries – true examples of science meeting art. Yet, although liquid crystals provide us with visually stunning displays, fascinating applications, and are a rich and fruitful source of interdisciplinary research, their full potential may remain untapped.

Gregory A DiLisi earned his BSc, with distinction, in applied and engineering physics from Cornell University. He then earned his MSc and DPhil in condensed matter physics from Case Western Reserve University. He currently works at John Carroll University, where he has held appointments in two departments – physics and education. As an experimental physicist, he specializes in liquid crystals and complex fluids with publications appearing in peer-reviewed journals.

James J DeLuca received his BSc degree in biochemistry. Currently, he is the QC manager at Axalta, Orrville, where he oversees the company’s laboratory and production development. Additionally, he conducts research and development for EnVont Nanotechnologies LLC where he explores quantum aqueous nanotechnology and a novel synthesis platform technology. In 2016, he was granted an approved United States patent for hybrid vehicle systems involving synthesis methods to create an environmentally-friendly, aqueous 4–6 nm hybrid zero-valent amorphous atomic metal within crystalline mixed metal-oxide nanocrystals.
