Glass particles in liquid could lead to hologram displays
Shine a torch through a window and then a glass of water and you'll notice how the light changes as it passes through these two substances. Researchers at MIT and Harvard have now discovered what happens when you mix regular liquid and glass (which, as all pedants know, is also sort of a liquid) together and stick it on a stove. The team suspended glass particles in a fluid and found that, when warmed up, its ability to scatter light increased a thousand times. That doesn't mean much right now, but the development has opened a door for research into holographic displays and medical imaging.
