Master of How moth eyes revolutionized the way we see in the dark
007skaty Moth-Eye Metasurface Cloak
Out of sight, out of sight, Moth-eye cones guide the light.
007skaty Moth-eye infrared lenses use effective medium theory to blend tiny structures into a single layer, letting light pass
007skaty Color-coded technical diagrams show light waves passing through moth-eye infrared lenses.
007skaty Spot hidden targets using infrared lenses to learn how moth eyes prevent reflections.
Perfect light traps: Scientists used moth-eye structures on silicon to create surfaces that absorb 99.8% of light, acting like tiny, physical light traps.
A technology or device that renders an object undetectable by bending electromagnetic waves around it. In 2016, Stuttgart scientists used gold nanoparticles to build a nanostructured version to improve anti-reflective lenses.
What is the typical light reflectance of glass treated with a biomimetic moth-eye film?
Why are traditional thin-film anti-reflective coatings often less ideal than moth-eye structures?
According to effective medium theory, how does light interact with sub-wavelength structures?
Which 19th-century physicist formulated the equations describing light reflection at boundaries?
