Anomalous evolution of broadband optical absorption reveals dynamic solid state reorganization during eumelanin build-up in thin films
Abstract The origin of eumelanin optical properties remains a formidable conundrum preventing a detailed understanding of the complex photo-protective role of these widespread natural pigments and the rational design of innovative bioinspired materials for optoelectronic applications. Here we report...
