Black silicon is a synthetic nanomaterial that contains high aspect ratio nanoprotrusions on
its surface, produced through a simple reactive-ion etching technique for use in photovoltaic …

We demonstrate that black silicon (b-Si) made by dry plasma etching is a promising
substrate for laser three-dimensional (3D) micro/nano-polymerization. High aspect ratio Si-needles, …

10.7554/eLife.45919.001 Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is emerging as a revolutionary
method for resolving the structure of macromolecular complexes in situ. However, sample …

Black Si (b-Si) with gold or silver metal coating has been shown to be an extremely effective
substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Here, we demonstrate that it is …

Engineered nano–bio cellular interfaces driven by vertical nanostructured materials are set
to spur transformative progress in modulating cellular processes and interrogations. In …

We propose a discrete set of continuous deformation of a circular nanoslit to generate and
control optical vortices at the microscopic scale. The process relies on the interplay between …

Cryo-transmission electron tomography (cryo-ET) in association with cryo-focused ion beam
(cryo-FIB) milling enables structural biology studies to be performed directly within the …

Inspired by natural photonic structures (Morpho butterfly, for instance), researchers have
demonstrated varying artificial color display devices using different designs. Photonic-crystal/…

Reactive ion etching was used to fabricate black‐Si over the entire surface area of 4‐inch Si
wafers. After 20 min of the plasma treatment, surface reflection well below 2% was achieved …

Engineered cell–nanostructured interfaces generated by vertically aligned silicon nanowire (SiNW)
arrays have become a promising platform for orchestrating cell behavior, function, …
