Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania believe that camouflage can be used in robotics, architecture, as well as cryptography and optics.

Scientists say artificial chromatophores can use to create complex displays, writes the Independent.
Chromatophores are special cells in octopuses and squids that allow shellfish to disguise themselves as the environment, report aggression or willingness to mate.
Engineers used thin, flexible membranes made from a polymer network of liquid crystals, to create an artificial chromatophore.
The latter can instantly change color from near infrared to visible and ultraviolet with a light touch.
Artificial chromatophores can be arranged like pixels on an LCD monitor. It will also allow you to create “smart” windows, which react to the ambient temperature by changing color.
