Structural colors are colors generated by the interaction between incident light and
nanostructures. Structural colors have been studied for decades due to their promising …

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

Colloidal crystals and glasses have been designed to develop structural colors that are
tunable, iridescent, nonfading, and nontoxic. However, the low printability and poor printing …

In this review, we report on superhydrophobic and superoleophobic properties found in
nature, which are strongly expected to benefit various potential applications. Mimicry of …

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 …

The optics of correlated disordered media is a conceptually rich research topic emerging at
the interface between the physics of waves in complex media and nanophotonics. Inspired …

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

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 …

Biological composites have evolved elaborate hierarchical structures to achieve outstanding
mechanical properties using weak but readily available building blocks. Combining the …

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