Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals

(Left) When an electric field is applied, the molecules line up and the appearance of the liquid crystal changes from opaque to clear

(Below) Computer calculation showing decreased scattering at higher fields

UK National Lottery Data Analysis

(Above) Using the Maximum Entropy Method, we have estimated the popularity of each of the 14 million tickets in the UK National Lottery. From this we can deduce the popularity of individual numbers.
