Photonic crystals, which can be engineered to reflect and diffract all the photons in specific wavelengths of light, have long been attractive for optical communications, in which the materials can be used to direct and sort light-borne data.
From the Facebook and Twitter feeds we monitor, to the algorithms that determine the results of our Web searches based on our previous browsing history and location, our major sources of information are increasingly engineered to reflect back to us the world as we already see it.
Similarly, ultrasound and computed tomography are being re-engineered to reflect information at the cellular level.
They're engineered to reflect a specific aesthetic and then tailored to a vehicle's exact size, style and segment--even the buyer.
Each spike is carefully engineered to reflect light downwards and retain it, making the High-Resolution Airborne Wideband Camera-plus, or HAWC+, one of the most sensitive instruments out there.
The mesh is knotted by machine in order to withstand winds, but is engineered to reflect the intricacy of handmade lace.
Instead, they must thoroughly re-engineer products to reflect the very different economics of BOP: small unit packages, low margin per unit, high volume.
For cutins and suberins, motions occurring at the spin-lock frequency in rotating-frame nuclear relaxation measurements have been proposed, in analogy with engineered polymers, to reflect the impact strength or toughness of biopolymer-based plant coverings.
In addition, engineers are upgrading orbiter engineering drawings to reflect modifications over the years and converting them to computerized drafting system for quick reference.
Why won't fans be told about television companies leaning on the premier league to engineer the fixture list to reflect their wishes?
