Structural coloration is widespread in the marine environment. Within the large variety of
marine organisms, macroalgae represent a diverse group of more than 24 000 species …

Brilliant colors in nature arise from the interference of light with periodic nanostructures
resulting in structural color. While such biological photonic structures have long attracted …

The brilliancy and variety of structural colors found in nature has become a major scientific
topic in recent years. Rapid-prototyping processes enable the fabrication of according …

Since the sporophores of the myxomycetes are the primary basis of taxonomy in the
myxomycetes, an understanding of the development and range of variations of the various …

The diatoms are ubiquitous, exist in large numbers and show a great diversity of features on
their porous silica structures. Therefore, they inspire the fabrication of nanostructured …

Three new myxomycete species, Tubifera glareata, T. tomentosa and T. vanderheuliae, are
described on the basis of morphological investigations and the partial 18S rDNA barcoding …

Structural colors refer to colors generated by minuscule structures, with the characteristic
dimension of the structures on the order of the wavelength of the visible light (ie, some tens …

We present a novel simulation method to investigate the multicolored effect of the Diachea
leucopoda (Physarales order, Myxomycetes class), which is a microorganism that has a …

We present a set of techniques that enhances a previously developed time domain
simulation of wave propagation and allows the study of the optical response of a broad …

Structural colored balloons (SCBs) consisting of polymer thin film developed structural color
by thin-layer interference on the shell. Thermoresponsive SCBs were prepared with poly …
