Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for ...

(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 ...

If you think at all about liquid crystals, you probably think of display technology. However, researchers have worked out a way to use an ink-jet-like process to 3D print iridescent colors using a ...

Photonic crystals are materials with repeating internal structures that interact with light in unique ways – such as in opals and the brightly colored shells of certain insects. Although these ...

MIT physicists have trapped electrons in a pure crystal, marking the first achievement of an electronic flat band in a three-dimensional material. The rare electronic state is thanks to a special ...

(Nanowerk News) Electrons move through a conducting material like commuters at the height of Manhattan rush hour. The charged particles may jostle and bump against each other, but for the most part ...
