Figure 1. Application of structural color. Nature not only provides humans with abundant material resources but also offers rich colors, satisfying both material and spiritual needs. The vibrant and ...

Scientists in China and Germany have designed an artificial color-changing material that mimics chameleon skin, with luminogens (molecules that make crystals glow) organized into different core and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The colors in the world around us are produced through either absorption of light by molecules (pigmentary colors) or scattering of light by nanostructures (structural colors).

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Self-assembly, the spontaneous organization of molecules into ordered structures, has long captivated scientists with its elegance and potential. By harnessing the same principles ...
