Here is where Debashis Chanda, a professor at the University of Central Florida (USA), saw an opportunity for his bio-inspired plasmonic structural colour materials to make a difference in the real-world. Unlike dyes, where light is absorbed and re-emitted or reflected based on the material’s inherent electronic properties, structural coloured material exploits the absorption and scattering of light purely based on the size of nanoscale features. Hence, a simple change in structural size or shape produces a new colour.
