"flame vapor deposition synthesized MoO3 nanoribbons with high spatial and spectral resolution, detecting resonance modes beyond 10th order... smooth, parallel edges function as reflecting surfaces... fast, inexpensive, scalable, and doesn't require extra treatments that can damage and contaminate the crystals... controlled sizes and shapes of synthesized samples by varying temperature, molybdenum concentration, and time... molecular level infrared sensing, imaging, and signaling"
