To build nanostructures, researchers need to probe these structures’ internal architecture at various states of assembly in three dimensions. This project used several methods to produce X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans that provided record-setting, 7-nanometer resolution and information on the elements in the materials. The researchers then constructed 3-D frameworks to reveal the nanostructures’ imperfections and interfaces.

Metasurfaces are formed by engineering a glass surface with an array of microscopic features, or meta-atoms. Although different optical functionalities can be obtained by changing only the pattern, the resulting metasurfaces often lack the necessary efficiency for many applications. In this report, scientists from Corning and Harvard University collaborate to demonstrate an inverse-design method that optimizes efficiency while respecting fabrication constraints. These results represent a step forward in making practical metasurfaces for broader applications.
