Spontaneous #emulsification occurs even @positive interfacial tension! Prof. Dong-Po Song presented giant surfactants that drive stable nano- to microscale #emulsions. By guiding #droplet self-assembly into patterns, he creates #photonic porous microspheres that scatter light into #structuralColors
DOES ANYONE READ THESE OR CARE? A mature female River Jewelwing damselfly, Calopteryx aequabilis on Cox Creek, Albany, Oregon. The eyes have darkened as she matured and the bright metallic structural colored patches have also darkened, while the base of each antennae and several patches on the face have become bright cream-colored patches. Her wing membranes have darkened and the veins are dark green and there is a bright white pseudostigma. DOES ANYONE READ THESE OR CARE?

An immature male River Jewelwing damselfly, Calopteryx aequabilis on Cox Creek, Albany, Oregon. The eyes will darken quickly as he matures until they are almost entirely deep black, much darker than the female's mature eye color. The metallic structural colors on the face will mostly darken until they look mostly black, while the metallic green on the body will darken but still be a spectacular metallic dark blue/green. Males engage in complex aerial lekking displays for watching females.

An immature female River Jewelwing damselfly, Calopteryx aequabilis on Cox Creek, Albany, Oregon. The eyes will darken as she matures and the bright metallic structural colored patches will also darken, while the base of each antennae and several patches on the face will become bright whitish patches. Her wings were bright copper reflections of the morning sun on her maiden flight.
