👉 Fluid, often referred to as a liquid crystal or a nematic phase fluid, is a unique state of matter that exhibits properties between those of conventional liquids and solid crystals. It has anisotropic properties, meaning its characteristics vary depending on the direction in which they are measured. This fluid can flow like a liquid but also has a degree of order, allowing it to align in specific directions under certain conditions. This dual nature makes fluids useful in various applications, including displays in smartphones and computer monitors, where their ability to change orientation in response to electric fields enables the modulation of light for image formation. Fluids are also found in natural phenomena, such as in certain types of clouds and even in the early stages of planetary formation.
