Bugs inspire better X-rays: Nanostructures modeled like moth eyes may boost medical imaging

Tuesday, July 3, 2012 - 13:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Using the compound eyes of the humble moth as their inspiration, physicists have developed new nanoscale materials that could someday reduce the radiation dosages received by patients getting X-rayed, while improving the resolution of the resulting images.
