Nanoscale drawbridges open path to color displays
Post# of 22456
"Gold nanoparticles are particularly attractive for display purposes," said Halas, Rice's Stanley C. Moore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and professor of chemistry, bioengineering, physics and astronomy, and materials science and nanoengineering. "Depending upon their shape, they can produce a variety of specific colors. They are also extremely stable, and even though gold is expensive, very little is needed to produce an extremely bright color."
