Scalable and flexible covert polarization displays
Jan 10, 2020 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Most natural and artificial colors are formed due to selective light absorption by pigments or dyes. An alternative mechanism of color formation is the result of frequency-selective light scattering by micro- and nanoscale structures inside a material – so-called structural color. Researchers have developed numerous...
