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 ...

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 ...

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

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 bioengineering. ...

Octopus and cuttlefish are masters of disguise. Many species can rapidly change both the color and the texture of their skin – an ability that scientists have long sought to replicate with synthetic ...

By harnessing electron-beam patterning to control the swelling and contraction of a soft polymer, researchers created a ...

Octopuses are the undisputed kings of camouflage. Whereas engineers have learned to mimic the colors, octopuses also match ...

In Stanford's laboratories, a team of engineers and physicists has succeeded in bringing to life materials inspired by a ...

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

Researchers at Stanford University recently came up with an interesting way (Phys.org summary) to create patterns and colors ...
