Novel Method to Manipulate Brewster Angle in Photonic Crystal System

When light shines through air onto water, some of the light usually will be reflected back into the air. But at one specific angle, called the Brewster angle, all of the p-polarized light travels into the water with no reflection. MIT graduate student Yichen Shen found a way to manipulate that Brewster angle in a specially designed photonic crystal mirror, achieving control over the light by controlling its angle of travel into a material.

Cube-Shaped Nanoparticles Self-Assemble into Winding Helical Structures

Nanocubes are anything but child's play. Weizmann Institute scientists have used them to create surprisingly yarn-like strands: They showed that given the right conditions, cube-shaped nanoparticles are able to align into winding helical structures. Their results, which reveal how nanomaterials can self-assemble into unexpectedly beautiful and complex structures, were recently published in Science.
