TL;DR: The formation of high-performance and high-capacity lithium-ion battery anodes from high-density germanium nanowire arrays grown directly from the current collector with excellent rate performance characteristics is reported.

TL;DR: Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals are promising luminophores for creating a new generation of electroluminescence devices, and potential advantages associated with nanocrystal-based devices, such as a spectrally pure emission color, which will certainly merit future research.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight a number of significant gains in the development of nanostructured lithium-ion battery architectures (both anode and cathode), as drivers of potential next-generation electrochemical energy storage devices.

TL;DR: Inverse opal structures with their porous and interconnected architecture span several technological arenas as mentioned in this paper, including optics and optoelectronics, energy storage, communications, sensor and biological applications, with a particular emphasis on the recent use of these three-dimensional porous structures in electrochemical energy storage technology.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a series of measurements on very simple one-dimensional subwavelength structures to test the key properties of the surface waves, and compare them to the composite diffraction of surface evanescent waves (CDEW) and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs).
