Abstract

Cephalopods (squids, octopuses, and cuttlefish) have captivated the imagination of both the general public and scientists alike for more than a century due to their visually stunning camouflage displays, sophisticated nervous systems, and complex behavioral patterns. Given their unique capabilities and characteristics, it is not surprising that these marine invertebrates have emerged as exciting models for novel optical materials and photonic systems. Within this context, our laboratory has developed various cephalopod-derived and cephalopod-inspired materials with unique functionalities in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our findings hold implications for next-generation adaptive camouflage devices and advanced thermal management technologies.
