“MicroCombs”

“These microscale “honeycombs” are yet another example of how nature repeats common patterns and structures on various length scales. Similar to honeybee’s use of hexagonal honeycombs, the polystyrene microspheres used as a template for this porous indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode self-assembled into a hexagonal packed structure. After the microspheres are removed, the resulting pores closely resemble empty honeycombs. These 5-micrometer “MicroCombs” are later used to entrap proteins, rather than honey, for photoelectrochemical studies.”
