Bor-Kai Hsiung (Bill)

Bor-Kai (from Taiwan) is researching structural colors in spiders, like blue tarantulas. Structural color is the production of color by microscopically structured surfaces, rather than pigments. Bor-Kai’s research about blue tarantulas was published in the journal Science Advances (Nov 2015) by AAAS, the same publisher that publishes the journal Science. His research has also been featured in many media since then, including: National Geographic, Discovery News, BBC, The Atlantic, MIT Technology Review, The Verge, Gizmodo, …, etc.
