Pure Structural Color is made of several extremely thin sheets of non-conductive material. These layers are stacked together and imprinted, or stamped, with a nano-scale pattern of rods with curved ...

A new way of producing structural colours – inspired by the nanoporous feathers of a brightly coloured South American bird – has been developed by researchers in the US, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia.

Chiral-structural-color materials produce color through microscopic structures that interact with light rather than through pigmentation or dyes. Some beetle exoskeletons, avian feathers, butterfly ...

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 ...

A new way of creating color uses the scattering of light of specific wavelengths around tiny, almost perfectly round silicon crystals. This Kobe University development enables non-fading structural ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have developed a method that may lead to new types of displays based on structural colours. The discovery opens the way to cheap and energy ...

The fabrication of vibrant structural color coatings utilizing un-processed natural minerals and ceramic powders via electron beam evaporation. The image illustrates the transformation of raw mineral ...

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 ...
