Thermochromic and photochromic colour change in Mg-Ni-H thin films
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Materials Letters"
DOI: 10.1016/j.matlet.2016.11.089
Abstract: Mg-Ni-H thin films were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering. As-deposited samples were Mg-rich and annealed in air by two steps at T=220 and 290 °C in order to increase crystallinity. A reversible, thermochromic effect was detected… read more here.

Explanation of the Colour Change in Alexandrites
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-62707-3
Abstract: Alexandrites are remarkable and rare gemstones. They display an extraordinary colour change according to the ambient lighting, from emerald green in daylight to ruby red in incandescent light from tungsten lamps or candles. While this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-019-0502-7
Abstract: Light sensing by tissues distinct from the eye occurs in diverse animal groups, enabling circadian control and phototactic behaviour. Extraocular photoreceptors may also facilitate rapid colour change in cephalopods and lizards, but little is known… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d0ra02468f
Abstract: In the present study, a colorimetric azobenzene-based probe (AZO 1) was reported that exhibits high selectivity toward Cu2+ and undergoes a red to yellow colour change upon its detection. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d2cs00790h
Abstract: Coordination complexes based on transition metal ions displaying [Ar]3d4-3d7 electronic configurations can undergo the likely most spectacular switchable phenomena found in molecular coordination chemistry, the well-known Spin Crossover (SCO). SCO phenomena is a detectable, reproducible… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0516
Abstract: The colours of insects serve important visual functions in aiding mate recognition, camouflage and warning. The display of insects is usually static, as cuticle coloration does not (or hardly) change during the lifespan of a… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.3999
Abstract: Camouflage, and in particular background-matching, is one of the most common anti-predator strategies observed in nature. Animals can improve their match to the colour/pattern of their surroundings through background selection, and/or by plastic colour change.… read more here.
