Squids have an amazing power to change color and even texture in a hostile environment to protect itself from predators. Harnessing the squid's ability to change its skin could lead to better camoflage for soldiers, according to new research from the University of California, Irvine.
The military has been interested in harnessing the squid's stealth powers for a while. The office of Naval Research has granted millions of dollars to nanotechnologists and marine biologists from various institutions to research squid-inspired camouflage since 2009
