Transparent and flexible silver mesh

Caption

Researchers created a broadband transparent and flexible silver mesh that allows high-quality infrared wireless optical communication while also exhibiting efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in the microwave radio region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The image on the right shows that the university logos are visible through the transparent grid (yellow outline), and the inset shows a microscopic image of the mesh’s repeating grid pattern.
