| 520 | 3 | |a Despite many of us staring at liquid crystals--in the form of liquid-crystal displays--for large portions of our waking life, for many their science and beauty is an untold story full of surprise and wonder. This book takes you on a photographic journey through the science of liquid crystals. By the end you'll be familiar with what they are, how they form and their role in producing the complexity of life on Earth. Presented in non-technical language, without any mathematics, this accessible text looks at spider webs, silk, display technology, lasers, dyes, detergents, DNA, cell membranes, drug delivery mechanisms, anaesthesia and optical computing. Presented in non-technical language and without any mathematics, this book is accessible to all, even if you have no prior knowledge of physics or chemistry. | |

| 545 | |a Benjamin Outram completed his DPhil at the University of Oxford's Department of Engineering Science, focussing on liquid crystal science. His research won the Institute of Physics Optical Group Doctoral Thesis Prize. Since completing his DPhil, Ben received a Daiwa Scholarship and spent four years in Japan, where he completed a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Postdoctoral Scholarship in Media Technology with a focus on virtual reality. His VR work includes Crystal Vibes, Planet Juggle and Synesthesia VR which have been showcased at Sundance Film Festival, Dubai International Film Festival and Tokyo Game Show amongst others. Ben became interested in photography of liquid crystals during his time at Oxford, where he has had two liquid crystal photography exhibitions at the University of Oxford's Linacre College. His footage has also been featured in a music video in collaboration with Max Cooper. Please visit his website to see more of his work, at www.BenjaminOutram.com. | ||
