cool. It would be very to make a review of interesting photonic properties we could benefit from nature, and the possible use for space. It's nice to see that some structured can already be replicated...! Is there a structure to give angulaer momentum to light ?

"climate policy-makers need to pay much more attention to restricting short-lived pollutants, such as methane, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and aerosols. This could create significant changes in the local and global climate quite quickly, whereas the effects of efforts to reduce emissions of long-lived carbon dioxide will not be seen for many years."

These conclusions come too late to have a real impact on decisions that will be taken in Copenhagen, I assume. But I think it is a hot topic as climate change 'solutions' that work QUICKLY are more and more needed!!

The film has a high tensile strength and Kadokawa says it can conduct electricity as efficiently as semi-conductors.   Uniquely, the film hardens upon heating but becomes soft again as it cools. These properties mean that it could be used to produce temperature sensors.
