I know that they are great at camouflage, but this is amazing.
They really are amazing creatures. In one of my advanced textiles classes we were discussing how the military was working with the folks that produce Kevlar to see if there’s a way to chemicaly treat fabrics for use in camoflauge. They’ve been working with squid dna essentially, to create a textile that can’t be seen by infra red at night and can adapt to light and shadow or color and texture of the surrounding enviroment. Pretty cool stuff – the proto types recently have been showing some good results. Think what a textile like that could do for the costume and fashion industries, let alone the huge amount of protection for our soldiers…

Very cool. I knew about their camouflage capabilities, but not the extent.
Thanks for sharing.
Life is beautiful.
