A new flexible material has been developed that can change color and texture, similar to an octopus. The material, which has been referred to as "photonic skin" and "OCTOID," is said to mimic the camouflage abilities of an octopus. Researchers at Stanford are reported to be involved in the development of this shape-shifting material, which could potentially be used for real camouflage in humans and robots.
