Octopuses are the undisputed kings of camouflage. Whereas engineers have learned to mimic the colors, octopuses also match ...

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

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 ...

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

New octopus-inspired artificial skin mimics marine camouflage, enabling materials to transform in color and texture for ...

The Stanford team created a metasurface from a polymer previously used in solar panels and printable electronics. They found ...

A material that can switch its appearance, cephalopod-style, could have future applications in robotics or display technology ...

A research team led by Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Assistant Professor Ryusaku Matsumoto (Department of Life Science Frontiers) has developed a machine learning model that enables early prediction ...

The study of pavement skid resistance and surface texture analysis is central to understanding road safety and the longevity of asphalt pavements. At its core, skid resistance represents the ...

Irregularities present on a surface are often described as surface roughness or texture. These surface textures such as grooves and dimples impart friction, which is the force between two sliding ...

Being able to quantify a surface finish is both a complex and necessary task. While surface topography relates to a three-dimensional property, the most accepted surface measurement parameter is ...
