Bio-Inspired Nanostructures Generate Bright Colors Independent of the Viewing Angle

Colors are created in various ways, and pigments are the best known colors. The feathers of peacock or the blue tarantula have very bright colors, but these are not caused by pigments, rather by nanostructures that cause the reflected light waves to overlap. This results in remarkably dynamic color effects.
