At the Intersection of Natural Structural Coloration and Bioengineering

Biomimetics, 2022
Most of us get inspired by and interact with the world around us based on visual cues such as the colors and patterns that we see. In nature, coloration takes three primary forms: pigmentary coloration, structural coloration, and bioluminescence ...
