Researchers from MIT have made a breakthrough in self - assembling block copolymers that means they can be woven into more complex patterns . Discovery that the polymers can form patterns that deviate from regular symmetrical arrays means there is potential for new ways of designing plasmonic patterns and those with similar characteristics for optical applications .
