Si nanotip arrays fabricated in the laboratory can mimic the “moth eye” and surpass its function in reflectivity reduction, wide angle, and wide spectral range. This result has been published in Nature Nanotechnology 2: 770-774 (2007) by K.H. Chen and coworkers.

Impact of reactant C-H stretching excitation on product images

Three-dimensional tracking of a single 35-nm FND in a live HeLa cell: Fluorescent nanodiamond (FND) is a new nanomaterial that possesses several unique properties such as good biocompatibility, excellent photostability, and facile surface functionalizability.  The brightness of the FNDs is also sufficiently high and stable to allow three-dimensional tracking of a single particle in cells
