Observing liquid crystals through a liquid crystal Adroher Benítez, Irene Díaz Acosta, Adrián Patti, Alessandro Liquid crystals Outreach Public engagement During the 23rd Andalusian Science Week at the University of Granada, we conducted an outreach activity titled Observing liquid crystals through a liquid crystal, aligning closely with our research project Unveiling the boundaries of biaxial nematics for energy-efficient displays UNBOUND. This initiative, targeting high school students, aimed to disseminate knowledge about liquid crystals and their practical applications, providing a realistic glimpse into scientific research. The activity consisted of an educational presentation and interactive experiments, with the latter proving particularly effective in engaging the students. This highlights the significance of interactive and engaging methods in effectively communicating scientific concepts to an audience of no-experts. Overall, the activity received positive feedback, and we plan to continue refining and implementing this format in upcoming public outreach events. 2024-05-16T09:39:17Z 2024-05-16T09:39:17Z 2024-02-27 journal article Irene Adroher-Benítez, Adrián Díaz Acosta & Alessandro Patti (2023) Observing liquid crystals through a liquid crystal, Liquid Crystals Today, 32:3, 67-71, DOI: 10.1080/1358314X.2023.2314938 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/91860 10.1080/1358314X.2023.2314938 eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ open access Atribución 4.0 Internacional Taylor & Francis Group
