Antireflective nanocoatings for UV-sensation: the case of predatory owlfly insects

Abstract Moth-eye nanostructures, discovered to coat corneae of certain nocturnal insects, have inspired numerous technological applications to reduce light reflectance from solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and optical detectors. Technological developments require such nanocoatings to possess bro...
