Above -The nanospheres in a methanol suspension have different colors than when applied to a surface as a monolayer. The Kobe University researchers explain, “This is due to the multiple scattering, i ...

Creating colour: nanothin clay double layers (DBLs) can generate structural colours. The colour is determined by the distance between the layers, which is modified by altering the clay concentration ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark created these images using a new technique of structural color laser printing. Technical University of Denmark You never see a faded peacock. The ...

Researchers have unlocked the genetic code behind some of the brightest and most vibrant colors in nature. The article is the first study of the genetics of structural color -- as seen in butterfly ...

Structural color, which is the foundation that makes things like a peacock's tail feathers appear iridescent, has been an area of study for scientists as they try to adapt it for use in everyday ...

Figure 1. Application of structural color. Nature not only provides humans with abundant material resources but also offers rich colors, satisfying both material and spiritual needs. The vibrant and ...

(Nanowerk News) The world's first 3D printing technology that can be used in transparent displays and AR devices has been developed, which implements the physical phenomenon of chameleon's changing ...

A peacock’s bright teal and brilliant blue feathers are not the result of pigments but rather nanoscale networks that reflect specific wavelengths of light. This so-called structural coloration has ...

The brown alga Sporochnus dotyi reflects shimmering green and blue light when illuminated from above. An example of structural coloring, the effect has been discovered by scuba divers and is not known ...

Its unique nanoscale layers reflect blue light, helping it attract birds for seed dispersal. Scientists have long believed that truly blue fruits do not exist in nature. Even common "blue" foods such ...
