A new way of creating color uses the scattering of light of specific wavelengths around tiny, almost perfectly round silicon crystals. This development enables non-fading structural colors that do not ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The vibrant blue of a morpho butterfly's wings doesn't come from pigments but from light interacting with microscopic structures on its surface. This phenomenon – structural color ...

Above -The nanospheres in a methanol suspension have different colors than when applied to a surface as a monolayer. The Kobe University researchers explain, “This is due to the multiple scattering, i ...

In a step towards developing advanced materials for functional coatings, a research group has developed a technology that combines structural color coating with super water-repellent properties. The ...

(Nanowerk News) An object has color when light of a specific wavelength is reflected. With traditional pigments, this happens by molecules absorbing other colors from white light, but over time this ...

The development of melanin-based coating combines structural color with water-repellent and self-cleaning properties, emerging as a next-generation coating material. Ever wondered about the brilliant ...
