The Discovery of Cholesteryl Acetate
In 1888, Austrian botanist Friedrich Reinitzer discovered that cholesteryl acetate was a flowing liquid exhibiting optical properties previously attributed only to crystals. The discovery brought into question the belief of the time that only three states of matter could exist (liquid, solid, and gas). And recently, liquid crystals such as cholesteryl acetate have come to be applied in cosmetics, wrist watches, thermometers, propane tank volume indicators, video displays, and in the "mood rings" of the late 1970s fad.
