Researchers report to have found the key to controlled fabrication of cerium oxide mesocrystals. The research is a step forward in tuning nanomaterials that can serve a wide range of uses - including solar cells, fuel catalysts and even medicine.
The scientists showed that two dielectric micro-bricks could be applied instead of the lens. Unlike its alternatives, in the long run, such a trap can be used in lab-on-a-chips.
