The existence of infinite periodic lipid bilayer structures in biological systems was first
demonstrated in cell membrane assemblies. Such periodicity is only possible in symmetric …

Organisms have evolved the ability to manipulate light for vision, as a means to capture its
energy, to protect themselves from damage, especially against ultraviolet (UV) and other …

This chapter investigates the disruptive potential of metamaterials, synthetic nano-structured
materials, which possess special physical properties that enable the user to be invisible and …

This chapter examines current and changing concerns surrounding the role of emerging
technologies in politics, diplomacy, and war. The primary focus is on outlining an analytical …

Optoelectronics in the deep-ultraviolet (DUV) regime is still a growing research field that
requires significant effort to understand the material properties and optimize the device …

Nature is replete with elegant non-imaging optical systems which perform complex
