Some animals, such as the chameleon and cephalopod, have remarkable capability to change their skin colour. This unique characteristic has long inspired scientists develop materials devices mimic a function. However, it requires complex integration of stretchability, colour-changing tactile sensing. Here we show an all-solution processed chameleon-inspired stretchable electronic (e-skin), in which e-skin colour can easily be controlled through varying applied pressure along with duration. As...
