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.

Supersonic Waves Improve Nano-Electronics

Amazing localized excitations such as freak waves happen in nature at all scales. The present theory and models of these waves can be applied to various fields such as physics, acoustics, cosmological relativity, neuro-dynamics, nonlinear lasers and optics, plasmas and oceanography, but they can also play an important role in nano-electronics at the quantum scale.
