Jul 31, 2019: Chameleon-inspired structural color soft robot can interact with environment (Nanowerk News) A novel structural color soft robot with both color-changing and locomotion capabilities has ...

The study centers around a new type of actuator — a device that controls how robots respond to a range of stimuli. Think of actuators as 3D-printed “robot muscles.” The “structural-color actuators” ...

But an emerging technology known as Pure Structural Colour – dubbed the “boldest, brightest color on Earth” in a new exhibition – shows how interplay between the two may be revolutionary ...

To incorporate multiple colors requires time-consuming realignment. Metin Sitti and colleagues developed an electric field-coupled TPP system for on-demand modulation of 3D-printed structural color.

By printing tiny dollops of clear ink on transparent surfaces, researchers created structural color portraits of famous figures, such as Isaac Newton, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. K. Li et ...

Published in Advanced Materials ("3D Imprinting of Voxel-Level Structural Colors in Lithium Niobate Crystal"), the new technique termed “micro-amorphization coloration” (MA) relies on the interaction ...
