optique

Optical crystallography is the branch of science that focuses on the optical properties of crystals. Also known as crystal optics, it describes the behavior of light in anisotropic media, such as crystals, in which the light behaves differently depending on which direction the light is traveling.

The University of Rochester research lab that recently used lasers to create unsinkable metallic structures has now demonstrated how the same technology could be used to create highly efficient solar power generators.
