Moth-inspired nanostructures take the color out of thin films (5/18/2013)

Moth-inspired nanostructures take the color out of thin filmsInspired by the structure of moth eyes, researchers at North Carolina State University have developed nanostructures that limit reflection at the interfaces where two thin films meet, suppressing the "thin-film interference" phenomenon commonly observed in nature. This can potentially improve the efficiency of thin-film solar cells and other optoelectronic devices. ...> Full Article



Insect-inspired camera captures wide field of view with no distortion, according to CU-Boulder study (5/2/2013)

Insect-inspired camera captures wide field of view with no distortion, according to CU-Boulder studyTo create the innovative camera, which also allows for a practically infinite depth of field, the scientists used stretchable electronics and a pliable sheet of microlenses made from a material similar to that used for contact lenses. ...> Full Article



Human eye gives researchers visionary design for new, more natural lens technology (11/15/2012)

Human eye gives researchers visionary design for new, more natural lens technologyDrawing heavily upon nature for inspiration, researchers have created a new artificial lens that is nearly identical to the natural lens of the human eye. This innovative lens, which is made up of thousands of nanoscale polymer layers, may one day provide a more natural performance in implantable lenses to replace damaged or diseased human eye lenses, as well as consumer vision products; it also may lead to superior ground and aerial surveillance technology. ...> Full Article

Insect eyes inspire improved solar cells (1/21/2011)

The eyes of moths, which allow them to see well at night, are also covered with a water-repellent, anti-reflective coating that makes their eyes among the least reflective surfaces in nature. Mimicking the moth eye's microstructure, a team of researchers in Japan has created a new film for covering solar cells that can cut down on the amount of reflected light and help capture more power from the sun. ...> Full Article
