ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell University scientists have come up with a novel way to manipulate liquid crystal molecules so they self-assemble in a desired direction into a robust network, making them useful as a new material for a variety of applications in the computer, medical, automotive and aerospace industries. The researchers have shown they can build a network of liquid crystal molecules that are linked together while aligned in an electric field. The field makes them lie parallel or perpendicular, depending on the AC frequency, so they orient on-demand.
