Mimicking Domino-Like Photonic Nanostructures on Butterfly Wings

Mimicking Domino-Like Photonic Nanostructures on Butterfly Wings

Butterfly‐mimetic photonic nanostructures are fabricated by shearing large arrays of nanometer‐scale structures, prepatterned using nanoimprint lithography. The overlapping domino‐like structures generate a tunable bright iridescent effect similar to that found in natural butterfly wings (see image)...
