When these charged droplets come into contact with the surface of the print they collect any substances deposited on it, creating a thin liquid film.
When rotating, the forces of nature keep the thin layer of liquid mercury in the shape of a parabola.
FORBES: Liquid Mirror Telescope Technology Finally Going Mainstream
Dr Bard and his colleagues have developed a novel form of memory that consists of a thin layer of organic liquid crystal sandwiched between two sheets of glass.
Lee Keun Joo, a senior analyst at Daewoo Securities, predicts a steady 21% rise in annual revenues until 1999, thanks to telecommunications and Hyundai's thin-film transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD) operations.
This time it is the impossibly thin, flat glass used to make liquid crystal displays.
The IBM team's quantum computer was a straw-thin vial filled with a rust-colored liquid packed with millions of copies of a single organic molecule.
Layers of material which work as filters, electrodes, transistors and the liquid crystal itself are deposited onto a thin glass plate to form a sandwich that is covered with another pane of glass.
ECONOMIST: Electronic screens as thin as paper are coming soon
In his 50-year career, Ovshinsky received more than 400 patents in the U.S. and more than 800 foreign patents covering a range of technologies, including nickel-metal hydride batteries, rewritable CDs, DVD optical discs, flat-screen liquid crystal displays, hydrogen fuel cells, thin-film solar cells and others.

Once the beads have been mixed into the liquid rubber, it is rolled out into a thin film and cut into sheets.
In this latest set of operations, Dextre removed two safety caps, cut through two sets of thin retaining wires, and finally transferred a small quantity of liquid ethanol into the washing machine-sized module.

For instance, the ultra-thin layers of graphene (a two-dimensional form of graphite) are formed by injecting liquid solutions containing carbon and silicon into an extremely hot, ionised gas (plasma) of argon.
Rather, it's a reflective display that uses a PNLC (Polymer Networked Liquid Crystal) module for improved brightness, and HR-TFT (high-reflective thin film transistor) technology to add contrast.
