The fabrication of vibrant structural color coatings utilizing un-processed natural minerals and ceramic powders via electron beam evaporation. The image illustrates the transformation of raw mineral sources (bottom right) into a High-Low-Absorber (HLA) thin-film stack (top right), resulting in a diverse palette of stable, high-chroma colors (left).
