The exciting properties of micro-and nano-patterned surfaces found in natural species hide
a virtually endless potential of technological ideas, opening new opportunities for innovation …

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 …

In recent years, structural colors have attracted great attention in a wide variety of research
fields. This is because they are originated from complex interaction between light and …

Complex three-dimensional biophotonic nanostructures produce the vivid structural colors of
many butterfly wing scales, but their exact nanoscale organization is uncertain. We used …

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 …

Meat color is an important aspect for the meat industry since it strongly determines the
consumers' perception of product quality and thereby significantly influences the purchase …

Diverse forms of nanoscale architecture generate structural colour and perform signalling
functions within and between species. Structural colour is the result of the interference of …

We investigate the mechanism of structural coloration by quasi‐ordered nanostructures in
bird feather barbs. Small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) data reveal the structures are …
