Metal-Free Metamaterials Transmit Wavelengths of Light Using Flash of Light

A study, published in App. Phys. Lett. 2016, DOI:10.1063/1.4959272, highlights that only a streak of light is needed to transform a metal-free metamaterial from a state that blocks specific wavelengths of light to a state that allows such restricted wavelengths to pass through.

MIT Researchers Develop New Hydrogel Material that has Potent Applications

A cube of Jell-O left on the kitchen counter would ultimately turn into a shrunken, hardened mass once all of the water within it has evaporated. The same occurs with hydrogels that are made mostly of water. These gelatin-like polymer materials are flexible and absorbent until they unavoidably dry out.
