‘Stenciling’ tiny gold particles gives them new properties

application: A particular use or function of something. circuit: A network that transmits electrical signals. In the body, nerve cells create circuits that relay electrical signals to the brain. In electronics, wires typically route those signals to activate some mechanical, computational or other function. computer model: A program that runs on a computer that creates a model, or simulation, of a real-world feature, phenomenon or event. fabric: Any flexible material that is woven, knitted or can be fused into a sheet by heat or compression and drying. metal: Something that conducts electricity well, tends to be shiny (reflective) and is malleable (meaning it can be reshaped with heat and not too much force or pressure). metamaterial: Lab-built materials that develop particularly desirable properties based on the way that they are built, rather than what they’re made from. They have qualities not found in the natural world. model: A simulation of a real-world event (usually using a computer) that has been developed to predict one or more likely outcomes. Or an individual that is meant to display …
