Nature employs structural color for purposes such as camouflage, attraction, and communication [1]. Despite progress in understanding the photonic structures responsible for structural color, the developmental pathways leading to these formations are not well understood [2]. How does a system transition from vesicles to a network-like structure, and what role does sugar play in this process? Is it simply a glue, or does it actively interact with vesicles to influence their organization and function? This project explores these questions using lipidic lyotropic liquid crystals to generate such structures. We use a dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation model to predict and design biological building blocks for structural colors. DPD’s coarse-graining technique enables accurate simulations over larger particle numbers and longer timescales. Our model was tested for spatial and time convergence, ensuring reliability. Visualized trajectories reveal distinct phases with clarity, providing insight into structural evolution. The model also generated phase diagrams for various lipids, which may play a key role in structural coloration in many arthropods. This work advances our understanding of photonic structures and opens avenues for bio-inspired materials engineering.
