The Beetle’s ‘Whitest White’ Album
Many things in this world promise “the brightest white.” Toothpaste, laundry detergent, paper, paint and even LED lights all boast the ability to produce a white that nothing else can. But these products have nothing on a seemingly lowly insect that uses light-scattering scales to reign supreme. A new investigation of the Cyphochilus and Lepidiota stigma beetles at the University of...
