ScienceDaily (Oct. 10, 2011) Physicists have demonstrated in simulations that under the influence of sufficiently high electric fields, liquid droplets of certain materials will undergo solidification, forming crystallites at temperature and pressure conditions that correspond to liquid droplets at field-free conditions.
This electric-field-induced phase transformation is termed electrocrystallization.

Acers venture into mobile phone territory has so far been limited to handsets based on Microsofts Windows Mobile operating system. Certain models, such as the tasty S200 and F900, were pretty impressive, but there have been misses, too, including the very disappointing E101.
However, with the Liquid the company is finally venturing beyond Microsoft to give Android a try.
On paper, the results look exciting as the Liquid boasts a Snapdragon processor and capacitive screen.
As a result, we were keen to see whether it could give the likes of the HTC Hero a run for its money?

Acer introduces its new smartphone Acer Liquid series : the worlds first Qualcomm Snapdragon processor based and worlds first Android 1.6 high definition smartphone, combining cutting-edge technologies, software innovation and an ultra-fluid user interface to create an all-new mobile experience.
It is the ideal solution for users demanding the best from their mobile handsets, and in particular outstanding multimedia, web browsing, social media integration and video streaming. It also brings smartphone product design forward with its unique and modern style. The Acer Liquid Android Smartphone is expected to be launched by the end of November 2009 for a price of around 495 Euro.

A government-funded start-up claims it can make ionic liquid energy storage feasible.

A spinoff from Arizona State University says it can develop a metal-air battery that dramatically outperforms the best lithium-ion batteries on the market, and now it has the funding it needs to prove it.
