As buildings age, the demand for effective monitoring of their structural integrity has grown significantly. A breakthrough in nano-optical sensor technology now enables precise, real-time ...

The team successfully developed an advanced film-type strain sensor incorporating nano-fabrication technology. When applied to buildings or other infrastructure, the film's color shifts in accordance ...

By adjusting the nanoparticle size between 91 and 284 nanometers, the researchers controlled how the sensor's color changed. The most noticeable color shift—from blue to red—occurred when the ...

facilitating the accurate and efficient detection of structural aging and damage for safety assessments. KIMM’s nano-optical sensor technology converts mechanical deformation into visual color ...

Real-time stretching of the structural color material integrated as a colorimetric pressure sensor in a bandage. The video was shot outdoors to demonstrate the robust colour response under natural ...

such warning can come in the form of a simple color change. It is helpful -- even life-saving -- to have a warning sign before a structural system fails, but, when the system is only a few ...

3D touchless multiorder reflection structural color sensing display, Science Advances (2020). DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abb5769 Wei Gao et al. Fully integrated wearable sensor arrays for multiplexed in ...

Scientists call such colors structural color. They can last longer than pigments because they don't fade in the sun. "As long as you don't destroy the structure, the color is always there," Yang said.

Monolayers of densely packed Si NSs are produced from Si NS suspensions by the Langmuir–Blodgett method. The monolayers exhibit size-dependent structural color with a peak reflectance of 30–50%. The ...
