Explains the fundamental optical properties underlying structural colors. This book surveys these mysteries of nature from the viewpoint of biological diversity and according to their structures. It proposes a general principle of structural colors based on the structural hierarchy.

Structural colors in living beings are one of the most marvelous arts that nature has ever created during the long history of the evolution. These colors originate from surprisingly sophisticated microstructures which gave rise to a new field of research-bionanophotonics. This book occupies a special position among similar books in the field of photonics, because it places a special emphasis on the detailed physical basis for the optical processes that are deeply connected with the structural colors, and also on the biological and physiological bases concerning what a variety of animals are...

Patterns and their formations appear throughout nature, and are studied to analyze different problems in science and make predictions across a wide range of disciplines including biology, physics, mathematics, chemistry, material science, and nanoscience. With the emergence of nanoscience and the ability for researchers and scientists to study living systems at the biological level, pattern formation research has become even more essential.

This book is an accessible first of its kind guide for scientists, researchers, engineers, and students who require a general introduction to...
