The feathers of a hummingbird, the wings of a butterfly, and the sparkle of an opal are all examples of nature's ability to produce structural, iridescent colors that typically require lab-grade ...

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 ...

Structural colors, produced by light interaction with nanostructures, offer advantages in resolution and durability over conventional pigments. However, inverse design—finding structures that produce ...
