This project aims to discover the nano-structural properties of beetles than enable effective management of solar and thermal radiation in different environments. A further aim is to reveal how these composite biological materials combine thermal control with desirable mechanical properties, such as strength and flexibility. Passive control of radiative energy is critical for both animal survival and for the design of many manufactured materials, particularly in a warming world. This interdisciplinary project will provide new knowledge of the different ways that biological materials mediate radiative energy exchange with the environment. This knowledge is essential for the design of bioinspired, energy-efficient, multi-functional materials.

该项目旨在发现甲虫的纳米结构特性，以便在不同环境中有效管理太阳能和热辐射。另一个目的是揭示这些复合生物材料如何将联合收割机热控制与所需的机械性能如强度和柔韧性相结合。被动控制辐射能量对于动物生存和许多制造材料的设计都至关重要，特别是在变暖的世界中。这个跨学科的项目将提供生物材料介导与环境的辐射能量交换的不同方式的新知识。这些知识对于设计生物灵感，节能，多功能材料至关重要。
