    The furthest distance in the world is not life and death, but it is clearly squatting in front of you, but you cannot see it


    Researchers from Pennsylvania State University in the United States have discovered that these particles are not only waterproof, but also have the function of absorbing and converting up to 99% of incident light.


    The so-called metamaterials are a type of man-made materials that have special physical properties that are not found in natural materials in nature, such as allowing light and electromagnetic waves to change their original fluctuations.


    In addition, the surface of the leafhopper's tiny particles has similar anti-reflection properties to the moth's eye structure.


    In the experiment, the team used a complex five-step electrochemical process to produce similar particles, which are compatible with various materials such as metal oxides (such as manganese oxide) and conductive polymers.


    If used as an anti-reflective coating, synthetic particles can help sensors or cameras reduce the signal-to-noise ratio, improve the capabilities of space telescopes, prevent light reflections from interfering with the lens, make images clearer, and even help solar panels capture light more effectively
