Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for ...
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 ...
Scientists have explored how atomically thin two-dimensional crystals can grow over three-dimensional objects and how the curvature of those objects can stretch and strain the crystals. The findings ...
(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 ...
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 ...
Researchers have proposed a new thermo-elasto-plasticity constitutive model based on the interatomic potential and solid mechanics for metal crystals. Through this new model, the material behavior at ...
