Optical Detection of Vapor Mixtures Using Structurally Colored Butterfly and Moth Wings
Photonic nanoarchitectures in the wing scales of butterflies and moths are capable of fast and chemically selective vapor sensing due to changing color when volatile vapors are introduced to the surrounding atmosphere. This process is based on the capillary condensation of the vapors, which results...
