TL;DR: Adapt infrared-reflecting platforms that feature a simple actuation mechanism, low working temperature, tunable spectral range, weak angular dependence, fast response, stability to repeated cycling, amenability to patterning and multiplexing, autonomous operation, robust mechanical properties, and straightforward manufacturability are developed that may open opportunities for infrared camouflage and other technologies that regulate infrared radiation.

TL;DR: This work reports proton conductivity for thin films composed of reflectin, a cephalopod structural protein, and finds it possible to use reflectin in protein-based protonic transistors, which may hold implications for the next generation of biocompatible proton-conducting materials and Protonic devices.

TL;DR: This work draws inspiration from self-assembled structures found in cephalopods to fabricate tunable biomimetic camouflage coatings that dynamically modulated between the visible and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum in situ.

TL;DR: Using the static infrared-reflecting design of the space blanket and dynamic color-changing squid skin to develop a composite material with tunable thermoregulatory properties, this material may substantially reduce building energy consumption upon widespread deployment and adoption.

TL;DR: An overview of selected literature examples that have used cephalopod-inspired dynamic materials as models for the development of novel adaptive materials, devices, and systems is provided.
