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 ...

Researchers explored a colloidal crystal model to produce specific polymorphs, required for use in materials science and pharmaceuticals. Polymorphs are not mythical, chimeric beasts -- they are ...
