Recently, Professor Han Lu's team from the School of Chemical Science and Engineering of Tongji University made a major breakthrough in the field of photonic crystals and successfully realized the self-assembly construction of a single diamond (SD) curved titanium dioxide skeleton. This achievement is known as the "Holy Grail" of photonic crystal structures. . Relevant research papers have been published in the internationally authoritative academic journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" (PNAS).

The research team conducted a detailed characterization of the SD skeleton structure through a series of experimental methods. The results of small-angle X-ray scattering and wide-angle X-ray diffraction showed the high degree of order of the sample; observations with scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy further confirmed the existence and high degree of order of the SD structure; the electrostatic potential density distribution obtained by three-dimensional reconstruction of electron crystallography This proves the four-connection configuration of the SD structure. In addition, calculation results show that the structure has a complete photonic band gap, providing a theoretical basis for its application in photonic crystals and other fields.

Professor Han Lu said that this research result not only solved the problem of synthesizing non-equilibrium structures that has long been pursued in the field of self-assembly, but also provided new ideas and methods for the preparation of other thermodynamic non-equilibrium structures. This method has broad application prospects and important significance in the fields of self-assembly, bionic materials, and next-generation optical devices.Professor Han Lu said that this research result not only solved the problem of synthesizing non-equilibrium structures that has long been pursued in the field of self-assembly, but also provided new ideas and methods for the preparation of other thermodynamic non-equilibrium structures.

Vintage Trend: Champagne & Cognac Diamond Color Guide
Recently, vintage aesthetics have continued to sweep the global jewelry industry, with Victorian court styles, Edwardian vintage jewelry, and European-style vintage bridal jewelry making a comeback. Champagne-colored diamonds, with their naturally soft luster, have risen in popularity, perfectly complementing the elegant heritage of vintage jewelry. Having broken out of niche collector circles, they have taken the jewelry markets of Europe, the United States, and Southeast Asia by storm. Thanks
The Ultimate Guide to Diamond Testers: Everything You Need to Know About Use and Selection
A diamond tester is a portable electronic instrument that distinguishes diamonds from other materials based on differences in thermal conductivity. It is typically shaped like a thick pen or a small remote control, with a fine metal sensing probe at the tip.
