How Fresh is Your Fish? A Chameleon Skin-Inspired Hydrogel Can Tell You May 7, 2021 Share The skin of a panther chameleon has an amazing ability to display rich and brilliant color changes due to the organization of different iridophores into a core-shell structure. Inspired by this color-changing ability, a team of scientists designed an artificial color-changing material that mimics chameleon skin. The hydrogels have multi-luminogens organized into different layers instead of one uniform matr...

Two-Luminogen Hydrogel Chemosensor Detects Seafood Freshness by Changing Color Written by AZoMMay 7 2021 A team of researchers from Germany and China has developed a novel artificial color-changing material that imitates the skin of a chameleon, through luminogens (molecules that cause crystals to glow) arranged into different core and shell layers of hydrogels rather than a single uniform matrix. This image shows the color change of the “chameleon skin” hydrogel-based chemosensor in respon...
