A research team in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Florida (UF) has developed a spin-coating technique for producing colloidal crystals that mimic the structure of the antireflective coating feature found in the eyes of moths.

General topics include supercooled liquids and glasses (including phonons in charged colloidal crystals and elastic models for the non-arrhenius relaxation time of glass-forming liquids), complex fluids (including superionic glass and experimental data), and other related topics such as delayed random walks and control and the effect of Coulomb collisions on low gas pressure plasmas.

Baughman and his colleagues suggest that similar behavior can occur in colloidal crystals, which consist of widely separated, regularly spaced microscopic particles suspended in a liquid; in assemblages of dust particles in electrically charged gases (SN: 8/6/94); and in laser-cooled ion crystals (SN: 1/31/98).
