Optical Diversity and Nanostructural Organization in the Colored Scales of Sternotomis
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Vivid colors in Sternotomis beetles originate from nanoscale photonic architectures embedded within individual scales. Here, we provide a comparative optical and structural analysis of 57 scale types that reveal how ordered, quasi‐ordered, and disordered 3D networks tune color, saturation, and angular response.
