"Innovative Paints Revolutionize Industry with Energy-Saving and Lightweight Formulas"

Researchers have developed a new plasmonic paint that is incredibly lightweight and needs just a fraction of the normal amount of paint to cover the same area. The paint uses colorless aluminum and aluminum oxide instead of pigment, and the color comes from the geometric structures of the material. The plasmonic paint needs a layer just 150 nanometres thick to be at full color, compared to current paints which recommend using around 9 milliliters. This makes it the lightest paint in the world and more environmentally friendly as it cuts out the artificial pigment.
