Visualizing spatial distribution of electrical properties at microscales with liquid crystal droplets

Present sensor probes for microelectrical gadgets can measure solely their common electrical properties, offering no data on their spatial distribution. Liquid crystal droplets (LCDs) — microscopic droplets of sentimental matter that reply to electrical subject — are promising on this regard. Accordingly, researchers lately visualized the electrical subject and electrostatic power distribution of microstructured electrodes by recording the movement of LCDs beneath an utilized voltage, making for top detection accuracy and spatial decision.
