Description
Jing Bian and co-authors present in 2025 a laser-and-peel method to mass-make insect wing membranes with many uses. Natural wings carry uneven nanopillars with rich traits, but copying them at scale on thin tough films was hard. The new route works on ultrathin plastic film.
A violet laser at the film-glass face makes gas bubbles that grow into pillars. Peeling splits the pillars, leaving wing-like texture on both film and glass. The fake membrane runs under five hundred nanometers thick and mimics dragonfly wings closely. Placed on contact lenses, it boosts light traits and germ killing in tests.
