HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Bor-Kai Hsiung from the The University have published the article: Rainbow peacock spiders inspire miniature super-iridescent optics, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS of 22/Oct/2012
- what: The authors provide validation of the mechanism using bioinspired, actual-size physical prototypes via two-photon nanolithography. The authors demonstrate here that the unique rainbow-iridescence of M. robinsoni and M. chrysomelas is produced by specialized 3D airfoil-shaped nanograting scales.
