Did you know? Octopus-inspired tech can now change colour & surface shape 🤯 | Nature publication

Описание: Literature details: Doshi, S., Güsken, N.A., Dijk, G. et al. Soft photonic skins with dynamic texture and colour control. Nature 649, 345–352 (2026). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09948-2

Scientists have developed a bio-inspired synthetic skin modeled on the remarkable camouflage abilities of octopuses. Unlike earlier materials that changed only color or shape, this new material can simultaneously alter color and surface texture in a controlled and reversible way. Using layered, responsive components activated by external stimuli such as electrical signals or heat, the skin can shift from smooth to rough and from matte to glossy. This breakthrough brings artificial materials closer to lifelike behavior. Potential applications include soft robotics, adaptive camouflage, wearable technology, and smart surfaces, highlighting how nature-inspired design can drive next-generation functional materials.
