HYPERCRYSTALS. "The magnetic field induces a periodic pattern of self-assembled stripes caused by phase separation into nanoparticle-rich and nanoparticle-poor phases, and the stripe periodicity is much smaller than the free-space wavelength in the hyperbolic frequency range, showing that the self-assembled optical medium is a photonic hypercrystal." https://lnkd.in/ev_ZGjS View in LinkedIn

TRPA1 IS AN EXTRAORDINARY MOLECULE, playing important roles in snakes, bats, mosquitoes, and man, from sensing heat, cold, various mustards and capsaicin, involved in metabolic control, pain, and neuropsychiatric disorders. Biomolecules are more often known for exquisite specificity and fidelity, but this clever construct has an enormous range of nuanced functions. What a beautiful molecule. View in LinkedIn

NEW MATERIAL. "Hypercrystals can be designed to exhibit a negative refractive index, without the negative magnetic permeability that is usually essential for such materials. In this way, it may be possible to use photonic hypercrystals for optical imaging, since a planar slab of such material can function as a Veselago lens." https://lnkd.in/e7BT7Dh View in LinkedIn

HYPERCRYSTALS. "Researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park (College Park, MD) and Towson University (Towson, MD) have combined the most interesting properties of photonic crystals and hyperbolic metamaterials into an entirely new material dubbed a hypercrystal." https://lnkd.in/ev_ZGjS View in LinkedIn

NEW FRONTIER. "The "photonic hypercrystal" is a photonic crystal made of a hyperbolic metamaterial. The structuring within the hyperbolic metamaterial has features about a hundred times smaller than the incident light's wavelength and twenty times smaller than the hypercrystal periodicity." https://lnkd.in/e22HGsR View in LinkedIn
