Porous materials with their ordered bicontinuous structures have attracted great interest
owing to ordered periodic structures as well as 3D interconnected network and pore …

Triply periodic minimal surface structures and related geometries are widely identified in
many natural systems, such as biological membranes and biophotonic structures in butterfly …

Architected materials that consist of multiple subelements arranged in particular orders can
demonstrate a much broader range of properties than their constituent materials. However …

Nanoscale fluorescence emitters are efficient for measuring biomolecular interactions, but
their utility for applications requiring single-unit observations is constrained by the need for …

Triply periodic minimum surfaces (TPMS), which outperform other structures in terms of bulk
moduli and relative density, have been widely used to dramatically improve the mechanical …

Through the use of the limited materials palette, optimally designed micro-and
nanostructures, and tightly regulated processes, nature demonstrates exquisite control of …

This Review covers photonic crystals (PhCs) and their use for sensing mainly chemical and
biochemical parameters, with a particular focus on the materials applied. Specific sections …

The natural world is a colorful environment. Stunning displays of coloration have evolved
throughout nature to optimize camouflage, warning, and communication. The resulting …

Liquid crystals play an important role in biology because the combination of order and
mobility is a basic requirement for self-organisation and structure formation in living systems …

Natural structural color materials, especially those that can undergo reversible changes, are
attracting increasing interest in a wide variety of research fields. Inspired by the natural …
