Scientists create chameleon-like invisibility material that doesn't use electricity

Scientists have developed a new type of invisibility material inspired by chameleons, which does not rely on traditional camouflage techniques like color or pattern matching. Instead, this innovative material uses a combination of nanostructures and microstructures to manipulate light in such a way that it can adapt to the background environment dynamically. The material features a flexible, transparent layer with embedded light-sensitive pigments that can change their reflective properties based on the surrounding light conditions. This allows the material to blend into various backgrounds by altering how light is absorbed, reflected, or transmitted, effectively making objects covered with this material less visible or even invisible to the human eye. This technology could have applications in military camouflage, wildlife conservation, and even in fashion, offering a new level of adaptability and stealth.
