The Stanford team created a metasurface from a polymer previously used in solar panels and printable electronics. They found ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new material that mimics the remarkable abilities of octopuses, capable of changing both color and surface texture within moments. This octopus-inspired artificial skin ...

The octopus is one of the most extreme animals on Earth. Its biology looks more like science fiction than natural evolution.

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 ...
