    Mimicking the texture found on the highly antireflective surfaces of the compound eyes of moths, scientists from Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory have utilized block copolymer self-assembly to produce precise and tunable nanotextured designs in the range of ~20 nm across macroscopic silicon-based solar cells...
