MXenes in grooved plastic create durable, heat-tolerant films that twist light beams.
A team of researchers at the University of Michigan employed MXenes, a type of ceramic-like material derived from industrial waste materials to develop heat-tolerant films capable of twisting light beams.
The MXenes were integrated into plastic sheets with microscopic grooves to create sturdy, heat-tolerant films capable of twisting light beams.
This innovation paves the way for imaging applications, such as capturing the hot turbulence of aircraft propulsion systems, helping aerospace engineers improve engine designs for better performance.
