Artificial skin mimics the octopus’s art of disguise A ‘photonic skin’ with controllable colour and texture brings materials science a step closer to the adaptive camouflage found in nature.

Artificial skin changes colour and texture in a controllable way, inspired by the natural camouflage ability of octopuses ➡️ www.nature.com/articles/d41... #syntheticmaterials #bioengineering

‘George Giusti (1908-1990) was born in Milan, Italy. He studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and did graphic design there before deciding to move to Zürich, Switzerland, where he opened a design studio, which he operated for seven years. While on a visit to the United States in 1938, Giusti was induced to stay by the several excellent commissions that were offered to him, including the opportunity to collaborate with Herbert Matter on the design of the Swiss pavilion at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Giusti is well known in Europe and America for his architecture and sculpture, as well as his graphics. Over the years, Giusti garnered more than ten gold and silver medals and eighty other awards and citations.’ https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/2021/01/fortune-magazine-part-3.html 21.2.22

3/8 "Everything we love about gum today is thanks to synthetic polymers," explains confectionery consultant Graff. Polyvinyl acetate strengthens bubble film, styrene-butadiene rubber creates bouncy chewiness, and polyethylene delivers that satisfying softness.
