Biomimetic dual-color domes programmable for encryption —

Many organisms in nature have evolved spots with two structural colors on their bodies, like the Papilio Palinurus butterfly. The green color on its wings derives from the turquoise-yellow dual color spots. Imitation of such dual-color spots is believed to inspire designs of functional materials in many industrial areas since they are related to the camouflage, message delivery, and thermoregulation … Read More
