You probably do not think of them that way, but the Blu-ray discs have a beautiful color. In fact, the same physics that gives butterfly wings and houseflies iridescent sheen eyes are also working on Blu-ray. All are examples of what physicists call the structural color, which are the colors created no pigments but from microscopic translucent forms that capture and reflect light so that it appears in color human eye.
The Blu-ray discs are so great at capturing light, a team of engineers from the University of Northwestern thought they would test how Blu-ray works for solar panels. After all, solar panels are also light trap as it comes. Perhaps replicating microscopic wonders, glassy surface of a Blu-ray disc in a solar panel, engineers were able to conducting a solar panel.
This is not as strange an idea as it first appears. Solar engineers already know that certain models of microscopic surfaces such as those found in structural colors in nature, making more efficient solar panels. Making this type of model nanoscale from scratch is expensive, however. The Northwestern team sought a less expensive model of the solar panels.
Microscopic surface features a Blu-ray Blu-ray complementary rules written for engineers drives keep the amount of information required for HD movies. It turns out that these models are suitable for capturing light, too.
What the team came certainly looked cheap. First, they cut the edges of a Blu-ray disc with a pair of scissors. (The record was Police Story 3: Super Cop, the team reports). Then they opened the album, revealing the stamped disc, data encoding surface. They poured liquid plastic on the patterned surface and allow to harden overnight plastic.
At the same time, they created their own solar panels in the laboratory. When the panels were ready, engineers pressed plastic patterns on the surface of the panels, stamping panels as could eradicate cookie dough. They also did a lot of panels with smooth surfaces unstamped, as a witness.
In laboratory tests, panels with drawings were more effective than smooth, they found. Although Super Cop tried first, no matter what the record, which encrypts all data. Microscopic surface features a Blu-ray Blu-ray complementary rules written for engineers drives keep the amount of information required for HD movies. It turns out that these models are suitable for capturing light, too. "It's like electrical engineers and computer development of Blu-ray technology have been subconsciously do our job, too," Jiaxing Huang, a chemist who led the research, said in a statement. Huang and colleagues published their work in the journal Nature Communications.
