Field Experience

In this study, the shape, makeup and color of butterfly wings were analyzed to determine if any of these factors could lead to innovations and new understanding to solar power uses. the types of butterfly wings were studiedly the Quasi honeycomb (QHS). The Shallow concavities structure (SCS) and Cross-ribbing structure (CRS).
The study found the Quasi structure to be the most efficient it has great light absorption and surface area. This will make harvesting light efficient and it also allows for great dye absorption.
This study will be useful in developing new technology and theories by adopting the honey comb structure.
