Taking inspiration from the microscopic rounded structures that creatures like starfish naturally grow to improve their limited vision, researchers at the University of Michigan have succeeded in ...

We use this knowledge to demonstrate a broader range of processing parameters and show that these can lead to improved ... as described above for the chloride crystals, except that the FAH volume ...

In apparent contradiction, we have observed that on sodium chloride crystals growing in the presence of cadmium or lead ions the layers are frequently more than 25,000 A. thick and are then ...

Researchers at MIT have developed photonic crystals that, in as little as two years, could enable the use of hydrocarbon reactors in portable electronic devices, and nuclear power sources ...
