Engineers Create Programmable “Camouflaging” Material

For the cuttlefish and octopus, rapidly changing their skin pattern and color to vanish into the environment is simply a part of their camouflage ability. These animals can also quickly and reversibly alter their skin into a textured, 3D surface, giving the animal a raggedy outline that resembles coral, seaweed, or other objects it detects and uses for camouflage.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?
