On the wings of butterflies found nanostructure, extremely similar to the famous Vantablack
shaoran2012Black color of butterfly wings is not just black, but a complex structure to absorb light, which can be compared with Vantablack, a material made of nanotubes with a record-low reflection rate of the incident light. This is the conclusion reached by researchers from Duke University (USA), who managed to measure the parameters of scales on the wings of these insects. They are designed much more complex array of nanotubes, but inexplicably thinner it several times. If the official rate of absorption of the incident light at Vantablack is of […]
