Inspired by the remarkable camouflage abilities of octopus and cuttlefish, Stanford researchers have developed a soft material that can rapidly shift its surface texture and color at extremely fine ...

Our bones did not begin deep inside the body. They started in the skin, not long after the first complex animals took shape.

Researchers developed a color-changing material that alters both surface texture and appearance in seconds, inspired by ...

Octopus-inspired synthetic skin shifts color and texture via nanoscale patterning, pointing to displays, camouflage, and soft ...

The animals' camouflaging capabilities have long inspired humans. The new material could one day help researchers improve ...

New octopus-inspired artificial skin mimics marine camouflage, enabling materials to transform in color and texture for ...

Now, new drone footage and a microbotanical analysis of pollen grains found within the holes are leading researchers to ...

To control color, the team sandwiched the polymer between two gold films. Light bounces off these films and interferes in ...

Synthetic cephalopod skin could be used in architecture and computer displays as well as background-matching subterfuge ...

Octopus and cuttlefish can change both the colour and texture of their skin in seconds, something no man made material has ...
