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, ...

Stable Diffusion represents a notable leap in the field of AI-generated art by providing a text-to-image diffusion model that’s capable of producing photo-realistic images based on text inputs. One of ...

Above -The nanospheres in a methanol suspension have different colors than when applied to a surface as a monolayer. The Kobe University researchers explain, “This is due to the multiple scattering, i ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Often, when we marvel at the vibrant colors of the natural world, we overlook the intricate nanoscale structures responsible for producing such splendor: welcome to the world of ...

A Japanese research team from Chiba University created a technique that combines structural color coating with extremely ...

A single layer of silicon nanospheres produces bright structural colors that are independent of the viewing angle. The color can be controlled by the diameter of the spheres, where smaller particles ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The vibrant blue of a morpho butterfly's wings doesn't come from pigments but from light interacting with microscopic structures on its surface. This phenomenon – structural color ...

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 ...

A new way of creating color uses the scattering of light of specific wavelengths around tiny, almost perfectly round silicon crystals. This development enables non-fading structural colors that do not ...
