Synergistic roles for lipids and proteins in the permanent adhesive of barnacle larvae.

abstract：:Recently, coherent control of the optical response of thin films in standing waves has attracted considerable attention, ranging from applications in excitation-selective spectroscopy and nonlinear optics to all-optical image processing. Here, we show that integration of metamaterial and optical fibre technologies all...
