Solving conflicting functional requirements by hierarchical structuring—Examples from biological materials
R Weinkamer, P Fratzl - MRS Bulletin, 2016 - Springer
Hierarchical structure is a hallmark of many biological materials that naturally originate from
their growth process, which starts with the biosynthesis of molecular building blocks that self …

Once believed to be a diagnostic feature of birds, feathers are now known to have evolved in
dinosaurs well before the first birds. In birds, feathers serve several functions: Down feathers …

Photonic structures for coloration in the biological world
In the biological world the living organisms have exploited photonic structures to produce
striking structural coloration since the Cambrian period. In recent years, structural colors and …
