A recent study, led by Professor Zi Yang MENG and co-authored by his PhD student Menghan SONG of HKU Department of Physics, in collaboration with researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Yale University, University of California, Santa Barbara, Ruhr-University Bochum and TU Dresden, has unravelled some of the secrets concealed within the entangled web of quantum systems.

The researcher outlines the applications of liquid crystal materials in the field of visualisation outside of displays in recent years. These liquid crystal-based devices are capable of changing shape or color in response to different stimuli, and can be worn to monitor human movement, sweat composition, or the surrounding environment.
