I see from elsewhere in the thread that you did chemical engineering as an undergrad so -- hi, colleague! :) My PhD took a very long time to finish and I would never ever recommend combining industry with academia. I'm a masochist I guess.
Have you done any work with liquid ferroelectrics (e.g. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0304-8853(99)00066-9)? Those were all the rage in my field because they were expected to enhance convection cooling and the dielectric properties of liquid-cooled equipment significantly. Then they just... fizzled out.
I've not! My work has been exclusively solid-state materials so far – they're just much easier to observe in the TEM. It's not impossible to do TEM on liquids / colloids, but it's a pretty specialized technique that I'm only passingly aware of as a thing that's possible. Seems like a pretty cool area though, I wonder why it fizzled out.
