Bio-inspired micro-architected mechanochromic materials with radiative signature modulation
Stefanos Mavrikos, Nikolina Nikolarea, Dimitrios E. Manolakos, Costas P. GrigoropoulosInspired by chameleon's color-changing ability, a new mechanochromic metamaterial fabricated by multiphoton lithography eliminates bulging under deformation, enabling reversible shifts of reflected wavelengths across the visible and infrared spectra.
