19世纪以前,人们从未想过某些物质还具有“液晶”状态。直到奥地利的植物学家莱尼茨尔在做胆甾醇苯酸酶加热实验时,发现晶体物质融化过程中——颜色在不同温度下会变得截然不同。随后物理学家勒曼发现,晶体融化液体与晶体类似具有双折射性质,于是将其命名为“液晶”。随着液晶技术不断提升,科学家们如今发现了三维量子液晶,这是加州理工学院量子信息与物质研究所的物理学家们首次发现的 Before the 19th century, people never thought that some substances also had a “liquid crystal” status. Until the Austrian botanist Lehitner did the cholesterol benzylate heating experiment, he found that during melting of the crystal material - the color would become quite different at different temperatures. Then the physicist Lehmann found that the crystal melting liquid had a birefringent property similar to that of the crystal, and named it “Liquid Crystal”. As liquid crystal technologies continue to improve, scientists now find three-dimensional quantum liquid crystals, first discovered by physicists at the Institute of Quantum Information and Materials at the California Institute of Technology
