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

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 ...

(CN) — Sometimes called the “chameleon of the sea,” the cuttlefish, like the unrelated land-based reptile, can rapidly change the color and pattern of its skin to blend into its surroundings to avoid ...

Scientists have unveiled a synthetic skin inspired by octopus camouflage that is capable of changing colour and texture, opening up potential uses from robotics to display technologies. Researchers ...

Cuttlefish don’t overpower their prey — they confuse it. By flashing rhythmic bands of color across their skin, they can ...

Anything with three hearts, blue blood and skin that can change colors like a display in Times Square is likely to turn heads. Meet Sepia bandensis, known more descriptively as the camouflaging dwarf ...

While sneaking up on prey, cuttlefish employ a dynamic skin display to avoid detection in last moments of approach, researchers at the University of Bristol have found. Maintaining camouflage while ...
