Researchers have developed a material that can change colour and texture on command, inspired by the shape-shifting camouflage of some cephalapods. Read the paper: Soft photonic skins with dynamic ...

Octopus and other cephalopods are good at hiding themselves—and are inspiring cutting-edge technologies that may help us do the same. Cephalopods like the giant Pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) ...

A ‘photonic skin’ with controllable colour and texture brings materials science a step closer to the adaptive camouflage found in nature. Benjamin Renz is in the 2nd Physics Institute, University of ...
