Yang's research team pioneered the development of nanowire lasers almost 15 years ago using a different blend of materials, including zinc oxide (ZnO) and gallium nitride (GaN).
Yang said to his knowledge these nanowires may be the first to emit laser light using a totally inorganic (not containing carbon) blend of materials.
Jacques Grange, a French decorator, wrote about Frank in the catalog for the sale: "Exquisite proportions, elegance of form, simplicity of line, the blend of materials, the ease and harmony of his combinations of shapes, render his work timeless.
The nanowires, with diameters as small as 200 nanometers (billionths of a meter) and a blend of materials that has also proven effective in next-generation solar cell designs, were shown to produce very bright, stable laser light.
A cement mixer that can pour 10 cubic yards of concrete delivered a well-defined blend of materials to the Flowerhill Drive corner: 10,260 pounds of sand, 20,100 pounds of gravel, 6,060 pounds of cement and 9.4 pounds of an agent that adds air bubbles to help the dry concrete flex with changing temperatures.
"Those tests were developed to make tests on pure substances with few impurities," said Eric Angelini, the regulatory affairs manager at Mane. "But our essential oils are a natural blend of materials coming from the plant that is part of the distillation process".
With sculptured edges and a unique blend of materials, the TC Series' distinctive look and feel is marked by the cover's unique branding stripe flanked by silver accents.
