Researchers have developed a 'coloring-by-shrinking' method to print arbitrary 3D microscopic objects exhibiting structural colors. The design consisted of woodpile photonic crystals with varying ...
(Nanowerk News) Photonic crystals are materials with repeating internal structures that interact with light in unique ways. We can find natural examples in opals and the vibrant coloured shells of ...
An international group of researchers from New York University has developed a novel method of visualizing them that is similar to having X-Ray vision. With this new method, which they have fittingly ...
Schematic of a crystal of knots. Credit: Jung-Shen B. Tai and Ivan I. Smalyukh Molecular self-assembly can produce stable 3D knots in chiral liquid crystals. The knots, which have been dubbed ...
In a report recently published in Nature Communications, a research group led by Associate Professor Joel Yang from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) printed probably the ...
