Liquid water is densest, essentially 1. 00 g / cm³, at 4 ° C and becomes less dense as the water molecules begin to form the hexagonal crystals of ice as the freezing point is reached.

Liquid crystals do not emit light directly.

Liquid crystals were first developed in 1888.

* Timothy J. Sluckin History of Liquid Crystals, a presentation and extracts from the book Crystals that Flow: Classic papers from the history of liquid crystals.

Liquid crystals ( LCs ) are a state of matter that have properties between those of a conventional liquid and those of a solid crystal.

Liquid crystals can be divided into thermotropic, lyotropic and metallotropic phases.

Liquid crystals have been used in such paints, such as in the thermometer strips and tapes used in aquaria.

* Liquid crystals ( e. g., ) that rotate polarized light either 0 degrees or 90 degrees depending on the applied electric field ;

Liquid crystals are commonly used in displays and shutter glasses.

Liquid crystals account for the bulk of Merck's profits at present.

Liquid crystals, another category of soft matter, exhibit a responsivity to electric fields that make them very important as materials in display devices ( LCDs ).

Liquid crystals encompass a wide range of ( typically ) rod-shaped polymers that naturally form into thin layers, as opposed to the more random alignment of a normal liquid.

Liquid crystals are quite sensitive, and even small amounts of leaked field will cause some level of switching to occur.

* Liquid crystals, when they are in a thermotropic state, can change light transmission properties in response to temperature.

Liquid crystals are used in precision applications, as their responses can be engineered to accurate temperatures, but their color range is limited by their principle of operation.

Liquid crystals used in dyes and inks often come microencapsulated, in the form of suspension.

Liquid crystals are used in applications where the color change has to be accurately defined.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the latest title in the Metal Gear series as it follows an older Solid Snake who is still on his quest to find and defeat Revolver Ocelot, now known as Liquid Ocelot.

Liquid ink electrostatic printer use a chemical coated paper, which is charged by the print head according to the image of the document.

Liquid crystal lasers use a liquid crystal in the lasing medium as a distributed feedback mechanism instead of external mirrors.

Liquid hydrocarbon fuels are the most commonly used forms of energy storage for use in transportation, but because the byproducts of the reaction that utilizes these liquid fuels ' energy ( combustion ) produce greenhouse gases other energy carriers like hydrogen can be used to avoid production of greenhouse gases.

Liquid propellants generally have densities similar to water ( with the notable exceptions of liquid hydrogen and liquid methane ), and these types are able to use lightweight, low pressure tanks and typically run high-performance turbopumps to force the propellant into the combustion chamber.

Liquid shellac has a limited shelf life ( about 1 year ), hence it is sold in dry form for dissolution prior to use.

Liquid crystal displays ( LCDs ), such as television and computer screens, use light that is polarized by a filter as it enters the liquid crystal, to allow the liquid crystal to modulate the intensity of the transmitted light.

Bomb disposal technicians wearing bomb suits to protect against an Improvised Explosive Device ( IED ) use a small, ice-based chiller unit strapped to their leg with a Liquid Circulating Garment, usually a vest, worn over their torso to maintain their core temperature at safe levels.

He would also use it with Liquid Tension Experiment, and in sessions for bands including Pink Floyd and Yes.

Liquid fuel lanterns remain popular where the fuel ( see portable stove for a discussion on fuel ) is easily obtained and is in common use.

Liquid rockets ( or liquid-propellant rocket engine ) use one or more liquid propellants that are held in tanks prior to burning.

Liquid oxygen was also used in some early ICBMs, although more modern ICBMs do not use liquid oxygen because its cryogenic properties and need for regular replenishment to replace boiloff make it harder to maintain and launch quickly.

Liquid oxygen also had extensive use in making oxyliquit explosives, but is rarely used now due to a high rate of accidents.

" Liquid Crystal Display User Interface " would reflect the fact that mobile phones normally use LCDs ; however, the API is not specifically tailored to this particular display technology.

** Liquid crystal display television ( LCD TV ), color TVs that use LCD technology to produce images

Liquid crystal displays use 100 % of their surface to display, thus the VIS is the actual size presented to the viewer.

SPACEHAB module experiments that were activated included the Organic Separations payload, which is designed to investigate cell separation techniques for possible pharmaceutical and biotechnology processing, and the Equipment for Controlled Liquid Phase Sintering Experiment package, a furnace designed to explore the possibilities of creating stronger, lighter and more durable metals for use in bearings, cutting tools and electronics.

* The Battle of Hooge 30th and 31st July 1915 -( First use of German Liquid Fire Attack-Flamethrowers )

* Liquid mirror telescopes, may use a layer of reflective mercury

Liquid breathing has also been proposed for use in deep diving and space travel.

Development made use of on an earlier programme by the Fairey Aviation Company known as " LOPGAP " ( Liquid Oxygen / Petrol Guided Anti-aircraft Projectile ), and a Victory Ship specially converted into prototype escort ship, RFA Girdle Ness, was procured.

* Liquid Ioniser purifiers use a capillary to feed liquid into an ionisation field that creates electrically charged liquid ions.

Liquid dancers use a variety of techniques rhythmically strung together to create an illusion of continuous flow that corresponds to the music.

Liquid funk has stronger influences from soca, latin, disco, jazz, and funk music, while IDB creates a calmer yet more synthetic sound, using smooth synth lines and samples in place of the organic element achieved by use of real instruments.

In 1984, a trial was carried out with a four 0305 buses already in use in Auckland, New Zealand with two powered by Liquid Petroleum Gas and two with Compressed Natural Gas.
