DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abl8147
Abstract: Structural colors originate by constructive interference following reflection and scattering of light from nanostructures with periodicity comparable to visible light wavelengths. Bright and noniridescent structural colorations are highly desirable. Here, we demonstrate that bright noniridescence… read more here.
