High‐Chroma, High‐Contrast Tunable Color Coatings Using Sb2S3 in a Metal‐Dielectric Stack
Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.A novel tunable color coating design is presented, using the phase‐change material Sb2S3 in a Fabry–Perot cavity. The resulting coatings yield bright, attractive colors, and display a significant color change when annealed using a hotplate or a laser. This demonstrates that Sb2S3 is a promising candidate for use in tunable color coatings.

European Journal of Entomology, 2009 In this report, we show that α-amylase activity is rhythmic in the wild-type fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, and that this rhythm exhibits the properties of a clock output. Moreover, the rhythm of amylase activity is accompanied by fluctuations in the
