Iridescent materials reflect different colored depending on viewing angle. This specific effect can be achieved by biomimetic photonic materials. This project models the quantitative relationship between these material’s coloring and its nanostructure to facilitate personalized design of art materials.

Here the authors investigated the potential of plant-derived smoke water to mitigate the negative impacts of abiotic stressors, such as heat, salinity, and water fluctuations, on the germination and growth of various agricultural crops. Their findings suggest that smoke water, specifically from buckwheat, pea, and radish, significantly improves plant resilience against drought and excessive water stress, offering a viable strategy to bolster food security in the face of climate change.
