Diverse nanostructures underlie thin ultra-black scales in butterflies

By ElissaApiag On April 4, 2021 · Leave a Comment · In 2021 SP Team 01, 2021 SP Week 07, Biological Discoveries

Recently, it has been shown that animals such as jumping spiders, birds, and butterflies have evolved ultra-black coloration comparable to the blackest synthetic materials. Of these, certain papilionid butterflies have reflectances approaching 0.2%, resulting from a polydisperse honeycomb structure. It is unknown if other ultra-black butterflies use this mechanism. Here, we examine a phylogenetically diverse […]

Paper, How biomolecules from red blood cells could improve battery performance

By ElissaApiag On February 14, 2021 · Leave a Comment · In 2021 SP Team 01, 2021 SP Week 02, Biol. Discoveries translated into devices

For lithium-air batteries, one important factor affecting the overall efficiency, rate performance, and energy provided is how efficiently oxygen is transported to and from the electrode surface. In this process, oxygen gas from the air must diffuse into the battery and to the electrode where it will react with lithium ions and electrons. If this […]
