Breakthrough technology 'filter the light' inspired by the butterfly wings

Based on the structure of soft butterflies, scientists have discovered that new technology related to "light filtering" may play a major role in future solar projects. and many other areas.

When studying the wing structure of the rare Peruvian Morpho Didius butterfly, scientists discovered microstructure that helped to distribute the light on the wings of the butterfly to create bluish tones in flight. sunshine.

Since then, scientists at the Australian National University have been involved in making micro-structures that control the direction of light in solar-powered experiments. and architecture.

The team has come up with surprising results in the ability to control the direction of the different colored light that the cone microstructure created by them can do.

The authors of the study believe that light-control techniques will be widely used in many fields such as solar, architecture and stealth technology.

In particular, techniques that control the distribution, reflectivity, and color variations of light will greatly benefit the study of ultra-efficient solar cells and humans. Control the direction of light as desired.

In architecture, this technique can help create window types that filter light and produce stealth objects with specific colors.
