This interaction, which is a direct consequence of the geometry deformation, provides a good description of the shape deformation of the LCE disk under light irradiation. In this FG model, the interaction between σ, which represents the director field corresponding to the directional degrees of LC, and the polymer position is introduced via the Finsler metric. We find that this shape change of the disk can be reproduced using the FG model. However, the mechanism of the shape change is still insufficiently understood because to date, the positional variable for the polymer has not been directly included in the interaction energy of the models for this system. This inhomogeneity of the director orientation on/inside the LCE is considered as the origin of the shape change that drives the disk on the water in the direction opposite the movement of the light spot. In the reported experiment, the upper surface is illuminated by a light spot, and the nematic ordering of directors is influenced, but the nematic ordering remains unchanged on the lower surface contacting the water. Or - a desperate measure but useful - try running crystal disk in safe mode - just in case there is some program blocking it from running.In this paper, we show that the 3D Finsler geometry (FG) modeling technique successfully explains a reported experimental result: a thin liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) disk floating on the water surface deforms under light irradiation. Try temporarily disabling your antivirus software to see if that helps. You could try running it from a USB key to see if that helps. It occurred to me that perhaps the program is being blocked on your computer by some antivirus software or that Crystal Disk doesn't have access permission to your drive. Hi Mike - I just downloaded and tried it on my new Dell laptop and it worked fine.

Here's a quote from a hardware forum, "Third party disk diagnostic applications (Crystal DiskInfo, HDD Scan, SSD utilities, or even the "Disk Health" app within Linux-based PartEdMagic) see it as an unidentified drive which does not support polling of SMART data and can return nothing except its model number and nominal 64 GB capacity."

I learned something new today about eMMC memory like your laptop has. Click to expand.Ignore the message below - it's what Growltiger posted.
