Biomimetics of photonic nanostructuresAndrew R Parker
Department of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK
Nat Nanotechnol 2:347-53. 2007..In this new approach, the nanoengineering efficiency of living cells is harnessed and natural organisms such as diatoms and viruses are used to make nanostructures that could have commercial applications...
Report. Dual gratings interspersed on a single butterfly scaleAbigail L Ingram
Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, UK
J R Soc Interface 5:1387-90. 2008..By incorporating two interchangeable gratings onto a single structure, as they are in L. nitida, the functional range of spectrometers could be extended...

A vision for natural photonicsAndrew R Parker
Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci 362:2709-20. 2004..Animals, it would seem, have plenty to teach us, not only in terms of the design of their optical structures, but also their engineering. A familiar message, perhaps, except now action is underway...
