DOI: 10.1002/advs.202105004
Abstract: Graphene films, fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, have exhibited superiorities in high crystallinity, thickness controllability, and large‐scale uniformity. However, most synthesized graphene films are substrate‐dependent, and usually fragile for practical application. Herein, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-019-2730-8
Abstract: Many animals make use of camouflage to avoid or reduce visual detection by predators or prey species. Among the diverse forms of animal camouflage, background matching—where an individual’s appearance helps it blend into the visual… read more here.

Camouflage that is spot on! Optimization of spot size in prey-background matching
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Evolutionary Ecology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10682-017-9886-3
Abstract: Camouflage is a key predation prevention mechanism. The most intuitive camouflage strategy is background matching, where a prey resembles the colour and pattern of its background. Spots (e.g. geometric ‘elements’ that constitute a pattern) are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsami.1c22745
Abstract: Information camouflage and decryption on hydrogels rely on chemical stimuli such as pH, ultraviolet light, and chemical reactions, in which the cyclability is limited. This work develops a simpler yet effective physical method that can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsami.1c23879
Abstract: Continuous development and advancement in modern detection technologies have increased the demand for multiband (e.g., visual and infrared) compatible camouflage. However, challenges exist in the requirements of incompatible structure resulting from the adaptation to different… read more here.
