Controlled fluorescence in a beetle's photonic structure and its sensitivity to environmentally induced changes.
The scales covering the elytra of the male Hoplia coerulea beetle contain fluorophores embedded within a porous photonic structure. The photonic structure controls both insect colour (reflected light) and fluorescence emission. Herein, the effects of water-induced changes on the fluorescence emission from the beetle were investigated. The fluorescence emission peak wavelength was observed to bl...
متن کاملLiquid-induced colour change in a beetle: the concept of a photonic cell
The structural colour of male Hoplia coerulea beetles is notable for changing from blue to green upon contact with water. In fact, reversible changes in both colour and fluorescence are induced in this beetle by various liquids, although the mechanism has never been fully explained. Changes enacted by water are much faster than those by ethanol, in spite of ethanol's more rapid spread across th...
متن کاملAdaptivity in GRAPPLE: Adaptation in Any Way You Like
GRAPPLE is an EU funded IST FP7 project that brings together a group of researchers into adaptive learning technology and environments and developers of learning management systems (LMSs), in order to offer adaptive learning as a standard feature of future LMSs. This paper presents the adaptation engine used in GRAPPLE, and explains why we consider it to be a truly general-purpose adaptive lear...
متن کاملPhotonic polycrystal in the greenish-white scales of the African longhorn beetle Prosopocera lactator (Cerambycidae).
Three-dimensional photonic-crystal grains were found in the scales of the longhorn beetle Prosopocera lactator (Cerambycidae). The local geometric structure can be described as a face-centered-cubic array of spheres, connected by short rods, reminiscent of the "ball-and-stick" models used by solid-state chemists to visualize atomic structures. Based on scanning electron microscopy, x-ray nanoto...
متن کاملDo You Have Any Recommendations?
Increasingly, users expect search engines to deliver answers to their queries, no matter how idiosyncratic or imprecise the formulation of their search. No longer content with receiving a list of URLs (often numbering in the thousands) to off-topic sites, users expect that search results be both highly relevant and usefully ranked. Additionally, the growing popularity of collaborative categoriz...
