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 ...

Learn more about the polymer film that can change color and texture when electron beams are applied.

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

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

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 ...

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

An artificial skin that can independently control its texture and color, much like an octopus, has been developed. It is expected to be utilized in fields such as soft robotics and advanced displays ...

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 ...

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. ...
