DESCRIPTION:Cephalopods (squid\, octopuses\, and cuttlefish) are known as 
 the chameleons of the sea – they can alter their skin’s coloration\, p
 atterning\, and texture to blend into the surrounding environment. These r
 emarkable capabilities are enabled by the unique morphology of cephalopod 
 skin\, as well as by its constituent proteins and nanoscale structures. I 
 will discuss our work on new types of photonic and protonic devices fabric
 ated from cephalopod-derived materials. Our findings may hold implications
  not only for the next generation of stealth and bioelectronics technologi
 es\, but also for gaining insight into the mechanisms that underpin cephal
 opods’ camouflage abilities.
