Natural Color-Generating Mechanism May Inspire Biophotonic Apps

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers from Yale-NUS College and the University of Fribourg have discovered a color-generation mechanism in nature, which, if harnessed, could potentially be used to create screen displays that project the same image when viewed from any angle, and even to reduce the signal loss in optical fibers. Researchers at Yale-NUS examined the rainbow-colored patterns in the wing casings of a snout weevil from the Philippines, Pachyrrhynchus congestus pavonius, using high-energy x-rays, while a team from the University of Fribourg performed detailed scanning electron microscopy and optical...Read full article
