Shapeshifting liquid crystal can form emulsions, then change back

Cornell researchers have developed a two-phase liquid crystal system that can rapidly change - and hold - its shape, transforming from a transparent thin liquid film to an opaque emulsion, and then back again, all with a brief jolt of a high-frequency electric field.
The approach coul . . .
