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 ...

Chiral-structural-color materials produce color through microscopic structures that interact with light rather than through ...

As buildings age, the demand for effective monitoring of their structural integrity has grown significantly. A breakthrough in nano-optical sensor technology now enables precise, real-time measurement ...

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 ...

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 ...

The quest to artificially create and control structural colors has been driven by their unique properties: they can be more vibrant, longer-lasting, and less toxic than traditional pigments. Moreover, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) From the vivid blues and greens of peacock feathers to the shimmering reds of ruby crystals, structural color in nature provides some of the most dazzling displays that delight ...

A Japanese research team from Chiba University created a technique that combines structural color coating with extremely water-repellent qualities as a first step in creating advanced materials for ...

Although the use of color can be employed to hide or disguise a specific characteristic, it can also be used to highlight them. Within the Latin American territory, we can observe that shades of red, ...

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 ...
