X‐rays emerge from a synchrotron to hit a protein‐covered substrate. From the film, proteins emerge, which are aggregated into football‐like nanoparticles, as described by A. A. Gorodetsky and co‐workers on page 8405. The protein and the nanoparticles are present in cephalopod skin; these cells emerge from a purple squid and underpin its camouflage abilities.
