Raising Health Journal Club: From Insect Eyes to Nanomaterials
5 snips
Oct 29, 2020 The podcast explores the science behind ultrathin coatings on insect eyes, discussing the emergence of patterns and their potential applications in nanostructure manufacturing. It delves into the complex nanostructure of insect eyes, explaining how coatings make them non-reflective through self-assembly. The concept of Turing patterns in biology and nanostructures is explored, along with the identification of inhibitors on the corneal surface and the role of retinin. The podcast also discusses self-assembly in material creation, its potential applications, and the challenges faced in finding optimal material ratios.
