Structural colors widespread in nature have been theoretically in‐depth studied and
manufactured through the artificial approaches such as self‐assembly and nanolithography …

This paper presents a circularly polarized flexible and transparent circular patch antenna
suitable for body-worn wireless-communications. Circular polarization is highly beneficial in …

A method to realize low-cost, optically transparent, flexible, and unidirectional antennas is
presented in this article. The key to the method is making a flexible transparent reflector …

Optically transparent flexible tag antennas are highly desired for some applications, where
unobtrusiveness and capability of mounting on curved surfaces are required. On the other …

Considerable efforts have been made for the fabrication of super-hydrophobic coating for
self-cleaning applications. However, a facile, eco-friendly and cost effective coating …

Hypothesis Thin metal films like silver (Ag) and gold (Au) on PDMS are perfect candidates
for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) active substrates whose optical and …

Colloidal photonic crystals (CPCs), which are the ordered assemblies of colloidal particles,
can reflect specific wavelengths of light. In particular, CPCs with controllable optical …

The rising need for energy to actively heat and cool human-made structures is contributing
to the growing energy crisis and intensifying global warming. Consequently, there's a …

Temperature regulation of infrastructures by active heating and cooling approaches
consumes about 20% of the total energy across the world, intensifying the energy crisis and …
