Chinese scientists promote ‘invisibility’ development

According to Wang and his group from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, the development has capacity applications in the military, architecture and beyond. In a researchstudy that appeared last month in the peer-reviewed journal Science Advances, the scientists stated they set out to make active camouflage an intrinsic function of colour-switchable products, in a procedure they called self-adaptive photochromism (SAP). Key to the change is a molecular substance that modifications its structure when exposed to particular wavelengths of light. To the naked eye, the product appears to mix flawlessly with its environment. I
