Scientists have devised a way of fabricating a complex structure, previously found only in nature, to open up new ways for manipulating and controlling light. Scientists have devised a way of ...
Guiding the self-organization of colloidal particles is a powerful concept for building materials that can adapt their optical, mechanical, magnetic, or electrical properties 1,2,3. The positional ...
A project at the University of Birmingham has devised a way of fabricating a complex optically active structure usually found in nature, to open up new ways for manipulating and controlling light.
Non-equilibrium assemblies, where units are able to harness available energy to perform tasks, can often self-organize into dynamic materials that uniquely blend structure with functionality and ...
