When Black and White make Green: the Surprising Interplay of Structure and Pigments
2019
: The natural world is teeming with color, which originates either from the wavelength-dependent absorp- tion of light by pigments or from scattering from nanoscale structures, or both. While the latter ' structural color ' has been a topic of intense study in recent years, the most vibrant colors in nature involve contributions from both structure and pigment. The study of structure-pigment interactions in biological systems is currently in its infancy and could inspire more technological applications, such as sustainable, toxin-free pigments and more efficient light harvesting.
