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

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

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 ...

To control color, the team sandwiched the polymer between two gold films. Light bounces off these films and interferes in ...

Researchers have developed a flexible material that can quickly change its surface texture and colors, offering potential ...

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

New octopus-inspired artificial skin mimics marine camouflage, enabling materials to transform in color and texture for ...

Stanford researchers have developed a flexible material that can quickly change its surface texture and colors, offering ...

Octopus and cuttlefish can change both the colour and texture of their skin in seconds, something no man made material has ...

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