However, his talk was filmed so you can still see Professor Ozin talking - 22 January 2008 on Intelligent Colour.
To encourage you to download it and watch it here is the blurb:
"Not all colours in nature originate from pigments. Colour can also emerge if the microstructure of a material is fashioned into a grating that allows optical diffraction. In nanotechnology, this 'structural colour is now within our grasp, and it is easy to imagine how it can be intelligently integrated into jewellery and artwork, vehicles and buildings. Beyond 'static' structural colour is 'dynamic' form that could enable a full colour display, where one material provides an infinite range of colours - for use in security devices for identification and authentification, and military vehicles with active camouflage for example. Opportunities for intelligent colour are truly boundless."
