Structure Formation in Butterfly Scales: Interplay of Genetic Control, Mechanical Instabilities, and Dynamic Material Properties Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth-driven mechanical ...

Out today in Advanced Functional Materials: Our interdisciplinary team funded by @hfspo.bsky.social presents our persective on the processes that control butterfly scale structure formation.
