Abstract
Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (U.S.A.) used a
common computer optical drive to convert thin layers of graphite oxide into
graphene, which was then incorporated into flexible electrochemical capacitors; A
team at Harvard University (U.S.A.) has developed a fabrication process that enables
the creation of nanostructures patterned in 3-D; An international team of
researchers used a microcavity ring resonator as both a laser filter and
mode-locker; Scientists in Germany recently made good-quality calcium carbonate
microlenses by precipitating them out of solution. They got inspiration a
reef-dwelling brittlestar whose body is covered with tiny calcium carbonate lenses
that act as the lenses for compound eyes.
