Except for maybe considering whether to order the calamari, most of us don`t think much about squid. But scientists are finding uses for their proteins that could shape the future gadgets we buy, future technology in medicine and the future of camouflage.

除了考慮是否要點烤魷魚這道菜,對于魷魚,我們大都不會思考太多。但是,科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)使用魷魚蛋白質(zhì)可以改制我們未來購買的器具、醫(yī)療技術(shù)以及偽裝技術(shù)。

AZADEH ANSARI, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Could one of nature`s masters of camouflage help disguise soldiers in combat?

阿扎德·安薩里,CNN記者:大自然中的隱身大師能幫助戰(zhàn)士們在戰(zhàn)斗中偽裝嗎?

Findings from a recent research study from a team of scientists at the University of California Irvine say they`ve been able to isolate a key protein in squid skin, which could one day help solids disguise themselves at night, during combat, and effectively make them invisible from infrared detection.

加州大學(xué)歐文分校的科學(xué)家們進行了一項研究,研究結(jié)果表明,他們能從魷魚的皮膚中提取出一種重要的蛋白質(zhì),這種蛋白質(zhì)未來能夠幫士兵們夜間隱藏自己,也能有效的避免紅外線偵測。

The unique light reflecting protein is called reflectin. Reflectin has enabled squid and other Cephalopods such as octopus and cuttlefish to blend into their environments for millions of years. Researchers say reflectin is super versatile and with the right mechanical or chemical stimulus can virtually be turned into any color.

科學(xué)家們把這種獨特的能反射光的蛋白質(zhì)稱為reflectin。這種物質(zhì)能夠讓魷魚以及章魚、烏賊等其他頭足類動物在數(shù)百年間與環(huán)境融為一體。研究人員稱這種蛋白質(zhì)功能很多,如果遇到正確的物理或化學(xué)刺激,這種物質(zhì)幾乎可以變成任何一種顏色。

Inspired, researchers found a way to produce reflectin in the lab and create invisibility stickers. These stickers are essentially tape coated with films of protein.

受到上述的啟發(fā),研究人員在實驗室研發(fā)了一種生產(chǎn)reflection的方法,并發(fā)明了隱形貼紙。這些貼紙實際上都是涂了這種蛋白質(zhì)層的膠帶。

The lab technology is still a ways away from being used on the battlefield.

但是這項實驗技術(shù)想要應(yīng)用到戰(zhàn)場上為時尚早。

AZUZ: Still, don`t expect them to squid while they`re ahead. Once researchers sushi potential, the cephalapodsibilities are endless.

We`ve got to squiddadle, but come back Tuesday for more deep sea in CNN STUDENT NEWS.
