Natural nanotechnologies: miracles of ancient Roman glasses

According to the results of research published in Magazine National academy sciences United States of America "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" (Magazine National academy sciences United States of America "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences") USA, as a result of centuries-old corrosion and crystallization the broken pieces of ancient Roman glasses turned into tremendous photon crystals. Researchers from Silklab University Taftsa found out that for thousands years of a molecule in glass were reconstructed and recombined with minerals therefore the ordered structures of atoms known as photon crystals were formed. Value of photon crystals Photon crystals find broad application in the modern...
