Make it stretch, make glow The skins of some cephalopods, such as the octopus, are highly flexible and contain color-changing cells. These cells loaded with pigments that enable rapid detailed camouflaging abilities. Larson et al. developed a stretchable electroluminescent actuator. material could be stretched, emit light, also sense internal external pressure. A soft robot demonstrated these combined capabilities by stretching emitting light moved. Science , this issue p. 1071
Because of their continuous and natural motion, fluidically powered soft actuators have shown potential in a range robotic applications, including prosthetics orthotics. Despite these advantages, robots using require stretchable sensors that can be embedded bodies for sophisticated functions. Presently, usually rely on the electrical properties materials composites measuring signal; many suffer from hysteresis, fabrication complexity, chemical safety environmental instability, material...

The waveguides fabricated by molding out commercially available elastomers integrate a clear core an adjacent...
Technologies that use stretchable materials are increasingly important, yet we unable to control how they stretch with much more sophistication than inflating balloons. Nature, however, demonstrates remarkable of surfaces; for example, cephalopods can project hierarchical structures from their skin in milliseconds a wide range textural camouflage. Inspired by cephalopod muscular morphology, developed synthetic tissue groupings allowed programmable transformation two-dimensional (2D) surfaces...
