Noninvasive imaging by a team led by associate research professor Maria Kokkori and Professor Aggelos Katsaggelos identifies ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Often, when we marvel at the vibrant colors of the natural world, we overlook the intricate nanoscale structures responsible for producing such splendor: welcome to the world of ...

A surface displays structural colors when light is reflected by tiny, regular structural elements in a transparent material. Researchers have now developed a method to make structural colors from ...

Art and science can seem two opposites on a spectrum. One is creative and interpretive, the other exact and empirical. But an emerging technology known as Pure Structural Colour – dubbed the “boldest, ...

Structural colors, like those found in some butterflies' wings, birds' feathers and beetles' backs, resist fading because they don't absorb light like dyes and pigments. However, the iridescence that ...

Structural colors, produced by light interaction with nanostructures, offer advantages in resolution and durability over conventional pigments. However, inverse design—finding structures that produce ...

Scientists have developed a revolutionary technique for creating colors that can change on command. These are structural colors that don't rely on dyes or pigments and can be used for display signage, ...

Kobe University researchers have created a new "structural color ink," just 100-200 nanometers thick, that shows bright colors from wide viewing angles, without fading, while weighing less than half a ...

Although modern cameras can, with skill and good conditions, produce photographs nearly indistinguishable from the original ...
