Cool tech: Engineers have invented a programmable, stretchable skin inspired by octopus camouflage

Engineers from Cornell University have developed a programmable texture-morphing synthetic skin inspired and modeled by octopus and cuttlefish camouflage. The team studied octopus and cuttlefish, alongside collaborator and cephalopod biologist Roger Hanlon of the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), to develop the synthetic skin. The material takes the cue from the 3D bumps or papillae that octopuses […]
