Abstract: The petals of some flowers form hierarchical structures when nano-scale cuticular ridges overlay bulged epidermal cells. These hierarchical structures can broaden the observable angles of iridescence. The resulting optical effect enhances the foraging efficiency of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/cryst13040622
Abstract: Three-dimensional goniometric measurements of structural color from melt-sheared polymer nanoparticle composites is presented revealing high-angle features arising from Bragg scattering. These features are presented in terms of ‘scattering cones’ from full 180° hemispherical scans showing… read more here.
