‘Predator’-Style Adaptive Camouflage By Imitating Octopus Skin
“Researchers are using a material inspired by octopus skin to make adaptive camouflage that changes in real time to best blend in with one’s surroundings. For now, a prototype of this technology only works in black and white, but lead researchers Cunjiang Yu at the University of Houston and John Rogers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign say they’re close to working out the kinks currently preventing them from using more colorful displays.”
Here’s a GIF of an octopus coming out of camo mode:
Take my money.
