Tunable Coloured Films for Displays and Sensors
29 Mar 2024 under Focus
Researchers at IISc have developed flexible films that exhibit bright colours purely by virtue of their physical structure, without the need for any pigment. When stretched, the films exhibit a change in colour as a response to the mechanical deformation. To design these films, the team devised a novel cost-effective and scalable single-step technique that […]
