Abstract

Morpho butterflies are intriguing due to their iridescent bright blue colours which originate from the Christmas tree like structures found in their scales. Through the advancements in nanotechnology, several attempts have been made to mimic these photonic structures and properties. On page 497, H. Butt and co-workers review the computational and experimental research dedicated so far to understand and replicate the blue Morpho butterfly wings.
