TL;DR: It is shown that a planar structure, consisting of an ultrathin semiconducting layer topped with a solid nanoscopically perforated metallic film and then a dielectric interference film, can highly absorb electromagnetic radiation in the entire visible range, and thus can become a platform for high-efficiency solar cells.

TL;DR: A transparent, conductive, and flexible electrode is demonstrated, based on an inexpensive and easily manufacturable metallic network formed by depositing metals onto a template film.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present optical measurements of random arrays of aligned carbon nanotubes and show that the response is consistent with conventional radio antenna theory, and demonstrate the polarization effect, the suppression of reflected signal when the electric field of the incoming radiation is polarized perpendicular to the nanotube axis.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple wire antenna was shown to be a resonator of the external electromagnetic radiation, which is consistent with conventional radio antenna theory and simulations, by demonstrating that its directional radiation characteristics are in an excellent and quantitative agreement with conventional Radio antenna theory.

TL;DR: In this article, the first report on growing individually aligned CNTs on various substrates by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was published, which has led to a new field on growth, characterization, physics, and applications of aligned carbon nanotubes.
