An international team of molecular chemists, physicists and nanomolecular scientists has found the molecule responsible for the bright, white-colored stripes sported by the Pacific cleaner shrimp. The study is published in Nature Photonics. Diederik Wiersma with the European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy, has published a News & Views piece in the same journal issue outlining the work by the team and explaining why it has such pertinence to the creation of photonic materials.
