Scientists have developed a new theoretical model explaining one way to make black silicon, an important material used in solar cells, light sensors, antibacterial surfaces and many other applications.
Recent advances establish stimuli-responsive hydrogels as an optimal platform for long-sought reconfigurable photonic systems with tunable optical properties and dynamic control over light's behavior.
Researchers use nanoparticles made of UV light crosslinked amino acids, loaded with doxorubicin and coated with tannic acid complex to target cancer cells.
