Cholesteric liquid crystal.Structural colorations originate from self-organized microstructures, which interact with light in a complex way to produce brilliant colors seen everywhere in nature. Research in this field is extremely new and has been rapidly growing in the last 10 years, because the elaborate structures created in nature can now be fabricated through various types of nanotechnologies. Indeed, a fundamental book covering this field from biological, physical, and engineering viewpoints has long been expected.Coloring in nature comes mostly from inherent colors of materials, though it sometimes has a purely pAnimalsColorStructural colorsAnimal pigmentsPlantsColorAnimalsColor.Structural colors.Animal pigments.PlantsColor.591.472Kinoshita Shuichi1949-1502688MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778070403321Structural colors in the realm of nature3730611UNINA
