Phys.org published UB’s new study led by Qiaoqiang Gan that explains the science behind microscale concave interfaces (MCI)—structures that reflect light to produce beautiful and potentially useful optical phenomena.
"It is vital to be able to explain how a technology works to someone before you attempt to adopt it. Our new paper defines how light interacts with microscale concave interfaces," says Qiaoqiang Gan, professor of electrical engineering. He noted that future applications of these effects could include aiding autonomous vehicles in recognizing traffic signs.
