Liquid crystal demonstration (VIDEO) Johns Hopkins University This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video. Caption As a demonstration that the tilt of liquid crystal molecules can be patterned to a high precision, scientists created a lens made of liquid crystals. The ability of the lens to focus and capture an image depends on the three-dimensional alignment of those molecules. Credit Alvin Modin/Johns Hopkins University.
