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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Kobe University researchers have created a new "structural color ink," just 100-200 nanometers thick, that shows bright colors from wide viewing angles, without fading, while weighing less than half a ...

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 is due to the multiple scattering, i ...

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 ...
