This book addresses artificial materials including photonic crystals (PC) and metamaterials (MM). A first part is devoted to design concepts: negative permeability and permittivity for negative refraction, periodic structures, transformation optics. The second...
Results for "aging"
New ways to diagnose skin cancer – making biopsies a thing of the past?
A biopsy is a painful and scarring but often unavoidable procedure. Now, scientists have reported promising results of autofluorescence and reflectance measurements of tissue as a noninvasive approach for basal cell carcinoma diagnosis.
Low-Power Upconversion in Dye-Doped Polymer Nanoparticles
The fabrication of dye-doped cross-linked rubbery nanoparticles with light upconversion properties even at relatively low power densities has been reported by a Swiss/American research team.
Doctors in the Bloodstream: Using Polymers to Diagnose and Treat Disease
Researchers at the Wooley Laboratory have used polymers to mimic the characteristics and actions of biological nanoparticles and structures.
