How dangerous is the "fluid" inside LCDs? Can it leak out of the monitor by any chance

[karlswanson]

Can nematic (electrically activated) liquid crystals be used to control the thermal conductivity or maybe it only works if the layers are thin and would have insufficient mass to effect a usable change?

I thought it was solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, and now liquid crystal.

I want to study this, like a Masters degree.. What would I have to study to learn about liquid crystals and holograms etc?

[karlswanson]

My understanding is when a material goes from solid (lower entropy) to liquid (higher entropy) it absorbs heat generally. Do you know of this happen to any significant degree for nematic liquid crystals when they transition from energized to non energized?

Is liquid crystal toxic? By touching, ingestion, inhaling, etc...?

We are liquid crystals. We simply applied it to tech. Nature first always

I have never seen a more pointless or useless animation.
Nothing about the animation improves learning or helps students to understand anything, but I'm sure you spent gobs of time and money making it.
You made an animation with the words the speaker said.
Woohoo? Hurray?
What is the point? Do you really consider this education?
Was this an animation project for first year art students or a video intended to teach something useful?
This is the kind of video I saw as a child in Kindergarten and you think this is what students of higher education deserve?
The efforts made by universities these days to actually educate anyone is absolutely shameful.
Clearly your average youtube creator is better at educating than our established institutions.
