In a step towards developing advanced materials for functional coatings, a research group has developed a technology that combines structural color coating with super water-repellent properties. The ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have developed a method that may lead to new types of displays based on structural colours. The discovery opens the way to cheap and energy ...

A team, led by Professor Colm Delaney from Trinity’s School of Chemistry and AMBER, the Research Ireland Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research, has developed a pioneering method, ...

A new way of creating color uses the scattering of light of specific wavelengths around tiny, almost perfectly round silicon crystals. This Kobe University development enables non-fading structural ...

Inspired by the hair of blue tarantulas, researchers from The University of Akron lead a team that made a structural-colored material that shows consistent color from all viewing directions. This ...

While traditional printer pigments fade and most structural color can't be printed, Kobe University material engineer Sugimoto Hiroshi has been working on nothing short of a revolution in the way ...

Art and science can seem two opposites on a spectrum. One is creative and interpretive, the other exact and empirical. But an emerging technology known as Pure Structural Colour – dubbed the “boldest, ...

IN pigment colour we have absorption of light due to the molecular structure of the substance under observation. We speak of structural colours when the observed colour is due to, or is modified ...

Inspired by the hair of blue tarantulas, researchers have made a 3-D printed structural-colored material that has a viewing angle of 160 degrees, the largest of any synthetic structural colors ...

The development of melanin-based coating combines structural color with water-repellent and self-cleaning properties, emerging as a next-generation coating material. Ever wondered about the brilliant ...
