Researchers have explored the mechanism behind the emerging property of recently discovered exotic disordered states of matter, known as “hyperuniformity”.
About Hyperuniformity:
It is a property of certain heterogeneous media in which density fluctuations in the long-wavelength range decay to zero.
Hyperuniform disordered materials have been observed in a variety of settings, such as in quasicrystals, large-scale structures of the universe, soft and biological emulsions and colloids, etc.
Feature: One of the most striking characteristics of such a state is that mass fluctuations are greatly suppressed as the system size grows.
Applications:
Hyperuniform materials have distinctive characteristics that could have technological or biological applications.
The mechanism of hyperuniformity could be used to control various physiological functions in cells, and energy-efficient photonic devices (such as photonic band-gap materials)
It could be used for optical data transmission and communications.
