Inspired by the hair of blue tarantulas, researchers have made a 3-D printed structural-colored material that has a viewing angle of 160 degrees, the largest of any synthetic structural colors demonstrated. They could be mass produced and used as pigment replacements – many of which are toxic – in materials i.e. plastics, textiles and paper, and for producing color for wide-angle viewing systems i.e. phones and televisions.
