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

"These animals can physically change their bodies at close to the micron scale, and now we can dynamically control the ...

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 ...

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

There have been many attempts to create monochromatic metallic materials, but few materials change luster color in response to external stimuli. In a recent breakthrough, researchers from Chiba ...

A group of MIT engineers created color-shifting materials using holographic film, elastic, and a desktop projector. It also takes inspiration from the iridescent colors of butterflies and birds. The ...
