2. Lyotropic liquid crystal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyotropic_liquid_crystal

   A highly viscous cubic phase gel made of polysorbate 80, water, and liquid paraffin. Lyotropic liquid crystals result when amphiphiles, which are both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, dissolve into a solution that behaves both like a liquid and a solid crystal. This liquid crystalline mesophase includes everyday mixtures like soap and water. [1] [2]

3. Differential scanning calorimetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_scanning...

   DSC is used in the study of liquid crystals. As some forms of matter go from solid to liquid they go through a third state, which displays properties of both phases. This anisotropic liquid is known as a liquid crystalline or mesomorphous state.

4. Dog food - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_food

   Some dog food products differentiate themselves as grain- or carbohydrate-free to offer the consumer an alternative, claiming carbohydrates in pet foods to be fillers with little or no nutritional value. A study published in Nature suggests that domestic dogs' ability to easily metabolize carbohydrates may be a key difference between wolves and ...

5. Liquid crystal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal

   Liquid crystal color transitions are used on many aquarium and pool thermometers as well as on thermometers for infants or baths. [84] Other liquid crystal materials change color when stretched or stressed. Thus, liquid crystal sheets are often used in industry to look for hot spots, map heat flow, measure stress distribution patterns, and so on.

6. Cholesteryl benzoate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesteryl_benzoate

   It can be also used as a component of the liquid crystals used for liquid crystal displays. Cholesteryl benzoate was the first material in which liquid crystal properties were discovered. In the late 1880s Friedrich Reinitzer , an Austrian botanist , while studying the chemicals in plants, heated cholesteryl benzoate.

7. Colloidal crystal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloidal_crystal

   A colloidal crystal is an ordered array of colloidal particles and fine grained materials analogous to a standard crystal whose repeating subunits are atoms or molecules. [1] A natural example of this phenomenon can be found in the gem opal , where spheres of silica assume a close-packed locally periodic structure under moderate compression .
