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 ...

German scientists have investigated the role of surface texturing in perovskite-silicon tandem cells and have found that several new processes offer the ability to etch smaller, more uniform textures ...

All plastic molders understand that the surface texture of the mold cavity and core will transfer a texture to the corresponding molded part. But even experienced molders can be unclear about the ...

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

Cutoff filter measures the wavelength at which the surface structure is distinguished between waviness data and roughness. Appropriate selection of the correct filter cutoff in software is important ...

When it comes to creating surfaces, it's a simple task to either make ones that are smooth or ones that are bumpy. But now researchers at MIT have created one that can be both. The 3D-printed surface ...
