-and nano-sized features that repel and direct water in one direction says Bixler. This is accomplished with a combination of grooves
because the feathers contain nanometer-scale protein structures that break up incoming light waves recombine and reflect them as rich vibrant colors.
They create metal structures with nanoscale grooves that produce iridescent colors but also trap the light so that viewers can see the intended colors from all angles.
They etched nanoscale grooves on a piece of glass with the same technology used to etch computer chips.

-and nanotechnology said Professor Isiah Warner Ph d. of Louisiana State university (LSU) Baton rouge who led the scientific team that developed the first GUMBOS five years ago.
Unlike some products of the revolution in nanomaterials and nanotechnology nanogumbos can be designed for specific uses rather than simply adapted for a particular use after being synthesized in the lab. Warner pointed out for instance that scientists are working on various types of nanoparticles for use in nanomedicine especially to diagnose
In diagnosing cancer nanoparticles with cancer-seeking properties might be injected into a patient before a medical scan.
For treating the disease nanoparticles would preferentially collect in and destroy only the abnormal cells sparing healthy tissue from the damage that triggers side effects with existing cancer chemotherapy.
Warner said that nanogumbos technology allows scientists to produce new nanoparticles in a focused way such that these particles are produced for specific uses from the beginning.
Some nanomaterials already use this approach. However many nanoparticles developed so far for medical use for instance must be coated with other materials to provide the desired medicinal property.
With GUMBOS technology nanoparticles can have desired the property incorporated directly into the nanomaterial he explained.
For example some nanoparticles are used as the drug delivery vehicle. We can make nanogumbos that are both the drug
and the drug delivery vehicle he said. Warner cited as one example a newly developed nanogumbos material with a provisional patent application filed that his team at LSU foresees as a lead in possible development of new anticancer drugs.
and as nanosensors and biomedical imaging reagents Warner pointed out. Thus far the scientists have made nanogumbos in many shapes and sizes.
