"These animals can physically change their bodies at close to the micron scale, and now we can dynamically control the ...

The animals' camouflaging capabilities have long inspired humans. The new material could one day help researchers improve ...

Researchers developed a color-changing material that alters both surface texture and appearance in seconds, inspired by ...

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

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 ...

Scientists have created a new light-activated ink that can change color on demand. It’s made up of microbeads of different colors that rise or sink in response to different wavelengths of light so ...

Imagine if there were inexpensive 3D-printed sensors that changed color to show us if something had gotten too warm or was subjected to too much stress. Well, there soon could be – and they'll ...

Some foods and medicines, such as many COVID-19 vaccines, must be kept cold. As a step toward a robust, stable technique that could indicate when these products exceed safe limits, researchers in ACS ...
