Inspiration solar butterfly

 Butterfly wings are not only beautiful. They are also more complex than the collectors of solar energy to help butterflies stay warm, the researchers say that the structure can provide valuable clues shinglelike in the development of improved solar energy technology.Structure of the balance of butterfly wings helps them to capture light for heating."Manipulation of light and the light gathering ability is important for the performance of solar energy devices," said Van Hangzhou, a world of material in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China, which is leading this effort. He and his colleagues published their findings last week at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in San Diego.The scientists used an electron microscope to study the structure of the wing are two types of black butterflies. (Choose black wings, as they absorb as much sunlight as possible.)Found to consist wings elongated rectangular tables, arranged slightly overlapping like shingles on the roof. Balance of each wing was also the tops of steep, with small holes on each side leading to LAYE 2
