DESCRIPTION:Structuring materials on length-scales of 1-100nm changes how 
 they interact with light. Such NanoMaterials offer entirely new possibilit
 ies for making photonic devices\, and develop our understanding of how lig
 ht can be confined tightly in small volumes\, much smaller than the optica
 l wavelength. But making such nanomaterials is extremely challenging\, par
 ticularly if in scalable processes. We have developed a new shear-assembly
  process that orders 200nm nanoparticles into polymeric opals on the kilom
 etre scale\, and new approaches for metallo-dielectric composites in plasm
 onics and metamaterials\, producing novel sensing and emission devices. Su
 ch structures are highly suited to control through high frequency acoustic
  and elastomeric deformations.
