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, ...

Creating colour: nanothin clay double layers (DBLs) can generate structural colours. The colour is determined by the distance between the layers, which is modified by altering the clay concentration ...

Non-fading and non-toxic structural color can now be applied to flat or 3D surfaces using an inkjet printer. This development also opens possibilities for novel display and anti-counterfeiting ...

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 ...

The fabrication of vibrant structural color coatings utilizing un-processed natural minerals and ceramic powders via electron beam evaporation. The image illustrates the transformation of raw mineral ...

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 ...

Seaweed growing along the world's coastlines could help to inspire new materials. Millions of years of evolution have shaped how seaweeds control light and color, which could offer new approaches for ...

Vibrant red This motif of a parrot was coloured using the new photonic glass. The two photos were taken at different angles with respect to incident sunlight. (Courtesy: Seungwoo Lee) Photonic glasses ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a method that may lead to new types of displays based on structural colors. The discovery opens the way to cheap and energy-efficient color displays and electronic labels.
