The butterfly wings will find application in electronics Bashny.Net

Scientists have discovered amazing natural properties of butterfly wings Morpho species. They have created nanobiocomposite material that can find application in sensors with high sensitivity, wearable electronic devices and environmentally friendly batteries.
Report on the development of a new promising material published in the journal ACS Nano. To date, scientists truly subservient to the miracles of human genius. Most recently, they were synthesized material that its strength surpasses even diamond.
Ajiro, Miyako and colleagues report that the Morpho butterfly wings have natural properties that can not be replaced with artificial with the help of technologies available on the day science. These wings are thin, flexible and very light. They absorb solar energy, repel water and self-cleaning.





The material represents a network similar to honeycomb, layered on the wings of butterflies Morpho. This composite material is activated by laser. The resulting material is heated much faster than each of its components separately. It is also characterized by high electrical conductivity.
Scientists impressed with the result, and the resource Resource e! Science News quotes their statement, full of hope for the brilliant future they have created material:
Our experiment will open the way for important progress towards the establishment of smart nanobiomaterials for various applications such as digital diagnosis, photo sensors, photovoltaic cells, and wearable electronic devices.
