Silvia Vignolini has conducted research on photonic structures in nature and on bio-mimetic materials. Based on the understanding of the physical and chemical properties of natural systems, she tries to reproduce them artificially using bio-based nanoparticles and biopolymers. Vignolini also creates new materials with embedded living organisms to adapt the materials to the needs of the environment. Her research aims to reveal how living organisms are capable to control structure and properties at the nanoscale.
