Butterfly wings inspire barrier-breaking nanotech

Yahoo Tech: Giuseppe Strangi, professor of physics at the College of Arts and Sciences, praised the butterfly-inspired metasurface, saying the team “succeeded” in aligning frequencies—a difficult feat. He highlighted its “unprecedented control of light” and noted its potential for quantum communication, while cautioning that scaling production of the tiny tungsten disulfide structures remains a major challenge.
