Abstract
The electromagnetic response of a heterostructure based on a monolayer of hollow glassy carbon spheres packed in 2D was experimentally surveyed with respect to its response to microwaves, namely, the Ka-band (26–37 GHz) frequency range. Such an ordered monolayer of spheres mimics the well-known “moth-eye”-like coating structures, which are widely used for designing anti-reflective surfaces, and was modelled with the long-wave approximation. Based on the experimental and modelling results, we demonstrate that carbon hollow spheres may be used for building an extremely lightweight, almost perfectly absorbing, coating for Ka-band applications.

PERGUNTA DESTE BLOGGER:
Mas Darwin não tinha removido o "teleologia" (design intencional) da ciência? Richard Dawkins não afirmou que o design na natureza é uma ilusão? Então por que buscar inspiração na natureza para este design intencional? Teleologia pura! Argh, isso é como assassinar todos os darwinistas xiitas fundamentalistas... Foi Darwin quem disse primeiro!
