The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Direct femtosecond laser surface nano/microstructuring and its applications (2013, background): “Its metallic, iridescent blue color is not caused by pigments, but originates from light interference and diffraction on complicated periodic microstructures [162,163].”
Chirality-induced polarization effects in the cuticle of scarab beetles: 100 years after Michelson (2012, background): “…dielectric mirror; Cetonia aurata – a left-hand narrow-band elliptical polarizer; Anoplognathus aureus – a broad-band elliptical polarizer; and Chrysina argenteola – a left-hand polarizer for visible light at small angles, whereas for larger angles, red reflected light is right-handed polarized.”
