{{w|Structural coloration}} is a phenomenon where the coloration of an animal or plant is not produced via pigments but via structural interactions with visible light at the scale of a wavelength (e.g. diffraction gratings, thin-film interference). More generally, it can also be used to refer to artificial materials that have a similar effect. | {{w|Structural coloration}} is a phenomenon where the coloration of an animal or plant is not produced via pigments but via structural interactions with visible light at the scale of a wavelength (e.g. diffraction gratings, thin-film interference).

− | The title text states that if a materials scientist gives you a gift, you should ask if regifting it requires any form of federal paperwork. This is because the materials scientist may have access to items which are dangerous and strictly regulated, such as {{w|polonium}} (an extremely radioactive element), {{w|fluoroantimonic acid}} (the strongest acid discovered), {{w|nitrogen triiodide}} (one of the most sensitive explosives in the world), and {{w|n-butyllithium}} (an extremely flammable, pyrophoric, and caustic compound) | + | The title text states that if a materials scientist gives you a gift, you should ask if regifting it requires any form of federal paperwork.
