Synthetic material acts like an insect cloaking device

“Synthetic microspheres with nanoscale holes can absorb light from all directions across a wide range of frequencies, making them a candidate for antireflective coatings, according to a team of Penn State engineers. The synthetic spheres also explain how the leaf …

The invisible ink that can be made visible, then invisible, and visible again

“A team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University has developed an ink that can be made visible and invisible repeatedly. The university announced on Thursday that the process will help to keep secrets safer. The research achievement was published in the …

Transforming fibrils into crystals

“An international team of researchers have discovered a new type of transition in protein folding: amyloid crystals formed from amyloid fibrils by a decrease in energy. The crystals are even more stable than the fibrils, which are responsible for a …
