Nature's looking glass: Crafting mirrors from plants
Natural materials, ranging from butterfly wings to mother-of-pearl, can exhibit an array of optical effects. In trying to reproduce these effects, scientists have found it challenging to use biodegradable, sustainable raw ingredients while also achieving the high levels of reflectivity required for certain applications.
We haven't written up this one. Phys.org has the full story — the link below goes straight to it.
