Episode Synopsis

Our latest guest, Prof. Jan Lagerwall from University of Luxembourg, knew how to catch our interest - he brought some samples to the studio. So this episode is not only a discussion about soft matter physics and liquid crystals, but Hanna is also challenged to describe what she sees. And you wouldn’t believe how many applications liquid crystals and liquid crystal rubbers can have. What an episode!USEFUL LINKSSee the samples for yourself - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpnPRmMWKB8ESMP - Experimental Soft Matter Physics Group - https://www.lcsoftmatter.com/Jan Lagerwall's Website - https://www.janlagerwall.eu/Trace Crystal - https://tracecrystal.com/More about Jan's research - https://www.fnr.lu/research-with-impact-fnr-highlight/25-examples-of-research-with-impact-innovation-beyond-solid-liquid-or-gas/Cover photo taken by Dr. Yong Geng.Support the show
