Color from hierarchy: Diverse optical properties of micron-sized spherical colloidal assemblies

Materials in nature are characterized by structural order over multiple length scales have evolved for maximum performance and multifunctionality, and are often produced by self-assembly processes. A striking example of this design principle is structural coloration, where interference, diffraction,...
