Use of Gold Could Revolutionize Wearable Technology
Some day, your smartphone might completely conform to your wrist, and when it does, it might be covered in pure gold, thanks to researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology. Writing in the March 17 issue of the journal Science, the Missouri S&T researchers say they have developed a way to “grow” thin layers…
Scientists Create 3D Full-Color Holographic Images with Nanomaterials
Researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology are creating a new approach to reconstruct 3D full-color holographic images by using just one layer of nanoscale metallic film. This work has a huge potential to change our daily lives by equipping our cell phones with 3D floating displays and printing 3D security marking onto credit…
