Dynamic Materials and Systems Inspired by Cephalopods
Prof. Alon A. Gorodetsky, University of CaliforniaEvent postponed: New date will be announced soon Abstract Cephalopods (e.g., squids, octopuses, and cuttlefish) have captured the imagination of both the general public and scientists alike due to their sophisticated neurophysiologies, visually stunning camouflage displays, and complex behavioral patterns. Given such characteristics, it is not surprising that these marine invertebrates have emerged as exciting […]
