New 3D-Printable Hydrogel Changes Shape, Color in Response to Light
Written by AZoMJan 6 2021
Engineers from Rutgers University took cues from the color-changing skin of squids, octopuses and cuttlefish to develop a 3D-printed smart gel that alters its shape upon exposure to light, turns into an artificial muscle,  and may pave the way for new military camouflage, flexible displays and soft robotics.

Additionally, the team has designed a 3D-printed stretchy material that can disclose colors upon changes in light, reports their study published in the ....
