Scientists built an artificial skin that changes color and texture like an octopus
Octopuses are the undisputed kings of camouflage. Whereas engineers have learned to mimic the colors, octopuses also match ...
The animals' camouflaging capabilities have long inspired humans. The new material could one day help researchers improve ...
To control color, the team sandwiched the polymer between two gold films. Light bounces off these films and interferes in ways that create various colors. When the polymer swells to varying extents in ...
Stanford researchers have developed a flexible material that can quickly change its surface texture and colors, offering potential applications in camouflage, art, robotics, and even nanoscale ...
The Stanford team created a metasurface from a polymer previously used in solar panels and printable electronics. They found ...
