Their bright-yellow gloss results from a one-of-a-kind combination of pigments and anatomical structures that create an optical thin film. These films reflect light much like a sheen of oil on a parking-lot puddle, said study leader Casper J. van der Kooi, who studies the reproductive biology of plants and animals at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland.Producent / auteur Stephanie Pappas URL https://www.livescience.com/57964-how-buttercups-get-their-yellow-gloss.html Personen Casper van der Kooi Titel Sophisticated optical secrets revealed in glossy buttercup flowers Mate van erkenning International Media naam/outlet Phys.org Mediatype Web Land Netherlands Release datum 21/02/2017 Beschrijving Buttercup flowers are known for their intense, shiny yellow colour.
