MXene thin films deliver brighter, more tunable structural colors and a wider color range than conventional materials, enabling scalable high-performance coatings for sensors, displays, and security ...

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 ...

“In nature, light creates the color. In the picture, color creates the light.” This quote by American artist Hans Hofmann precisely describes the fundamental light-matter interaction and color ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The colors in the world around us are produced through either absorption of light by molecules (pigmentary colors) or scattering of light by nanostructures (structural colors).

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 ...

Chiral-structural-color materials produce color through microscopic structures that interact with light rather than through ...

A Japanese research team from Chiba University created a technique that combines structural color coating with extremely water-repellent qualities as a first step in creating advanced materials for ...
