What is a duck-billed platypus?
The duck-billed platypus is known for its ability to detect specific prey in complex and muddied environments using a surface contained within its bill that is studded with chemical receptors. Keeping true to its namesake, Platypus Technologies, LLC is developing devices to rapidly identify a wide range of target molecules present in complex samples through specific interactions with nanostructured surfaces.
What are Liquid Crystals?
In general, Liquid Cystals (LC's) are formed by rod-shaped molecules with a strong tendency to align with each other. These materials possess a range of unusual optical properties that are exploited to display information in liquid crystal displays such as in laptop computers.
