As part of the Sirius XM update, Sirius 27 Hard Attack was renamed Liquid Metal (taking the name of the channel that was on XM channel 42). Original subscribers to Sirius and XM have been disappointed because the title change, and others
Liquid crystal Rod-shaped molecules have an elongated, anisotropic geometry which allows for preferential alignment along one spatial direction. • The molecular shape should be relatively thin, flat or bowl-like, especially within rigid molecular frameworks. • The molecular length should be at least 1.3 nm, consistent with the presence of long alkyl group on many room-temperature liquid crystals. • The structure should not be branched or angular, except for the bowlics. • A low melting point is preferable in order to avoid metastable, monotropic liquid crystalline phases. Low-temperature mesomorphic behavior in general is technologically more useful, and alkyl terminal groups promote this. An
