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 …

This study evaluated the effect of the structural color phenomenon in resin composites (RCs)
on the color adjustment of restorations by investgating their color reproduction performance …

Coloring in nature mostly comes from the inherent colors of materials, but it sometimes has a
purely physical origin, such as diffraction or interference of light. The latter, called structural …

We report the mechanism of color production in peacock feathers. We find that the cortex in
differently colored barbules, which contains a 2D photonic-crystal structure, is responsible …

In a world that is as colorful as ours, it is not surprising to find that colors produced in nature
by a variety of creatures have attracted the attention of scientific giants such as Newton …

We use a tetrahedral color space to describe and analyze male plumage color variation and
evolution in a clade of New World buntings—Cyanocompsa and Passerina (Aves …

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 …
