Embodiment Construction
[0017]The present invention is based, at least in part, on the acknowledgement that nanostructures defined by a rigid medium, such as silicon, as well as nanostructures defined within a flexible medium, such as a polymer, when used alone, provide inferior “smart” artificial nanostructures. For example, the present invention has acknowledged that nanostructures defined by the rigid medium lack the responsiveness desired in the “smart” artificial nanostructures, while the nanostructures defined by the flexible medium lack the stability desired in such structures.
[0018]Based upon the foregoing acknowledgements, the present invention recognizes that a more promising approach is to create a “smart” artificial nanostructure based on a hard-soft combination, which capitalizes on the beneficial properties of the different materials. In such a design, the hard medium brings about the rigidity, structure and precision, whereas the softer medium brings about responsive behavior. Accordingly, a...
