This is a schematic of the surface wrinkling formation process. Wrinkling and buckling at micro-scale are a popular phenomenon in stiff nano-film on compliant substrate due to external stimuli such as ...

In this interview, Prof. Michael Strano and Dr. Qing Hua Wang talk about their work on graphene, and explain how the properties of the atomically thin layers of carbon depend on what type of material ...

To build optoelectronic circuits, researchers need to make films of semiconductor nanocrystals in desired patterns, just as they can with conventional silicon-based electronics. But the techniques ...

Optical Components are manufactured from a wide range of substrates, and the very materials they're fabricated from dictate their suitability for specific tasks. Here, Knight Optical – the leading ...
