Marine life can teach us a lot about color and light, especially when it produces such vivid colors even in the depths of the ocean, where light is scarce. Silvia Vignolini, director of the Sustainable and Bio-inspired Materials Dep. (@vignolinilab.bsky.social) talks about her research in @spie.org.
