Through the use of the limited materials palette, optimally designed micro-and
nanostructures, and tightly regulated processes, nature demonstrates exquisite control of …

Biological photonic structures can precisely control light propagation, scattering, and
emission via hierarchical structures and diverse chemistry, enabling biophotonic …

Structural color has been regarded as an ideal alternative to pigments because of the
advantages of environmental friendliness, resistance to fading, and dynamic regulation …

Nature's color has three main sources: pigments, structural colors and bioluminescence.
Structural color is a special one, which is the color produced by micro-or nano-structures …

Multiscale structures of biological materials exhibit inherent multifunctional integration. This
special biological solution provides some inspiration for scientists and engineers to design …

Nature has mastered the construction of nanostructures with well-defined macroscopic
effects and purposes. Structural colouration is a visible consequence of the particular …

Structural colorations originate from self-organized microstructures, which interact with light
in a complex way to produce brilliant colors seen everywhere in nature. Research in this …

Nature is a school for human beings. Learning from nature has long been a source of
bioinspiration for scientists and engineers. Multiscale structures are characteristic for …

In this paper we describe the details of simulations conducted on three-dimensional finite
element models of nacre integrated with experiments. This work gives an overview of …

The biogenic polymer/mineral composite nacre is a non-brittle biological ceramic, which self-
organises in aqueous environment and under ambient conditions. It is therefore an …
