Light influences most ecosystems on earth, from sun-dappled forests to bioluminescent
creatures in the ocean deep. Biologists have long studied nano-and micro-scale organismal …

Manipulation of the electromagnetic signature in multiple wavebands is necessary and
effective in civil and industrial applications. However, the integration of multispectral …

Photonic structures in ordered, quasi-ordered or disordered forms have evolved across
many different animal and plant systems. They can produce complex and often functional …

Structural color originates from the interference of light with periodic structures that feature
characteristic length scales on the order of the wavelength of visible light. Long‐range order …

The brilliant appearance of Easter Egg weevils, genus Pachyrhynchus (Coleoptera,
Curculionidae), originates from complex dielectric nanostructures within their elytral scales …

Brilliant colors in nature arise from the interference of light with periodic nanostructures
resulting in structural color. While such biological photonic structures have long attracted …

The bright colors of Pachyrhynchus weevils originate from complex dielectric nanostructures
within their elytral scales. In contrast to previous work exhibiting highly ordered single …

The diverse colors of longhorn beetles arise from either pigmentary absorption or
interference of light with various photonic nanostructures. Variations in structure, order …

While artificial photonic materials are typically highly ordered, photonic structures in many
species of birds and insects do not possess a long-range order. Studying their order …

Colloidal crystals reflecting interference‐based structural colors have been reported in many
organisms, but many are yet to be accurately described. Herein, the bright, iridescent scales …
