Researchers unveil octopus-inspired smart skin that hides images, changes shape, and encodes data via 4D printing.
An “exceptional” number of Mediterranean Octopus have been spotted along the south coast of England this year, putting on rarely-seen displays in shallow waters. Revered as one of the most intelligent ...
New fabrication method produces hydrogel-based smart synthetic skin with adjustable optical, mechanical, and surface properties. Encoded patterns allow the material to respond differently to heat, ...
Despite the prevalence of synthetic materials across different industries and scientific fields, most are developed to serve a limited set of functions. To address this inflexibility, researchers at P ...
