From butterflies to nanoscience: toward new colors without pigments
With Mathieu Nicolas, an optical physicist, and Quentin Haemmerlé, a doctoral student in photonics and image sensors, both at the Fresnel Institute.
Using the example of butterfly wings, they will explain how certain natural structures produce colors without pigments and how these phenomena can inspire research in photonics and nanoscience.
