A photographer finds a rare orange octopus on a beach, after a surprising increase in their numbers in the area.

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 ...

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 ...

Octopuses change color to camouflage themselves from predators such as stingrays and eels. Octopuses have even been observed changing color in their sleep. Octopus's color-changing ability is known as ...

Octopuses are the undisputed kings of camouflage. Whereas engineers have learned to mimic the colors, octopuses also match the texture, disappearing into the background with a level of sophistication ...

Learn more about the polymer film that can change color and texture when electron beams are applied. Octopuses have the incredible ability to quickly change and adapt their skin to camouflage ...

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. ...
