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 ...

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 ...

Pure Structural Color is made of several extremely thin sheets of non-conductive material. These layers are stacked together and imprinted, or stamped, with a nano-scale pattern of rods with curved ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers develop water-repellent structural color coating (IMAGE) Chiba University Caption The development of melanin-based coating combines structural color with water-repellent and self-cleaning ...

A new way of creating color uses the scattering of light of specific wavelengths around tiny, almost perfectly round silicon crystals. This development enables non-fading structural colors that do not ...

A single layer of silicon nanospheres produces bright structural colors that are independent of the viewing angle. The color can be controlled by the diameter of the spheres, where smaller particles ...
