It has been a while since I have covered colloidal photonic crystals here on Nobel Intent. Last time, I wrote about research that showed how one could fine tune the crystal lattice with an applied ...

Chameleons are famous for their color-changing abilities. Depending on their body temperature or mood, their nervous system directs skin tissue that contains nanocrystals to expand or contract, ...

Scientists studying chameleon skin have discovered the secret to the lizards’ color-changing prowess: Rather than relying purely on pigments, the animals use photonic nanocrystals in their skin to ...

Colloidal photonic crystals that can be made to change color by applying a magnetic field have been developed by researchers in the US. The crystals could be used to dramatically improve the quality ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Structural colors – the vibrant hues that arise not from pigments but from the interaction of light with microscopic structures – are among nature’s most captivating phenomena.

Chameleons are famous for their color-changing abilities. Depending on their body temperature or mood, their nervous system directs skin tissue that contains nanocrystals to expand or contract, ...

A team of chemists has created self-assembled, three-dimensional DNA crystals that can bind a separate, dye-bearing strand -- a breakthrough that enhances the functionality of these tiny building ...

As if chameleons weren’t incredible enough for their ability to rapidly change their skin color, here’s something even more amazing. According to a new study, the lizards may be making their color ...

Joining hands in fighting the global pandemic we are facing, we have developed, in collaboration with our Chinese partner ApexBio, a highly sensitive COVID-19 detection kit using Crystal Digital PCR.
