The rich structures and hierarchical organizations in nature provide many sources of
inspiration for advanced material designs. We wish to recapitulate properties such as high …

BACKGROUND The interdisciplinary field of animal coloration is growing rapidly, spanning
questions about the diverse ways that animals use pigments and structures to generate …

Many studies have shown how pigments and internal nanostructures generate color in
nature. External surface structures can also influence appearance, such as by causing …

Thermal radiation in the mid‐infrared region profoundly affects human lives in various fields,
including thermal management, imaging, sensing, camouflage, and thermography. Due to …

The ability of feathers to perform many functions either simultaneously or at different times
throughout the year or life of a bird is integral to the evolutionary history of birds. Many …

This study evaluated the effect of the structural color phenomenon in resin composites (RCs)
on the color adjustment of restorations by investgating their color reproduction performance …

The extraordinary properties of biological materials often result from their sophisticated
hierarchical structures. Through multilevel and cross-scale structural designs, biological …

Over the course of their wildly successful proliferation across the earth, the insects as a
taxon have evolved enviable adaptations to their diverse habitats, which include adhesives …

Natural creatures have evolved elaborate photonic nanostructures on multiple scales and
dimensions in a hierarchical, organized way to realize controllable absorption, reflection, or …

Disorder and photonics have long been seen as natural adversaries and designers of
optical systems have often driven systems to perfection by minimizing deviations from the …
