Camera and film maker Polaroid, facing enormous debts as it tries to reposition itself as a digital imaging company, said Wednesday it would cut 2,000 jobs, or 25 percent of its global work force.About half of the jobs cuts would come in the United States, said spokesman Skip Colcord. Most of the company s domestic work force is in Massachusetts.Polaroid said the restructuring should save the Cambridge-based company between $175 million and $200 million annually by the end of 2003. The company will take restructuring charges of $150 million-$175 million in 2001 and 2002. This is an extremely difficult decision, but an absolutely necessary one if Polaroid is to compete in the digital future, said Gary T. DiCamillo, chairman and chief executive officer. We must fo

If you have not yet witnessed the wonder of an octopus changing color instantaneously, then you should go do that right now. We humans are only slowly playing camouflage catch up. A new color-changing sheet that adapts to the light it senses brings us a tiny step closely to octopi. The device, presented this week in the journal PNAS, is made of temperature-sensitive dye that appears black at cool temperatures and transparent at higher ones. Popular Mechanics explains how it works: The top layer of the new device is loaded with a temperature-sensitive dye that appears black at low temperatures and clear at temps above 116 degrees F. This dye-filled layer sits on top of a layer of white reflective silver tiles, an ultra-thin layer of silicon circuits that control the dye temperature, and a transparent silicone rubber foundation. All together, this stack measures less than 200 microns thick. The average human hair is 100 microns wide. Underneath this flexible sandwich is a base layer containing an array of light-sensing photodetectors. The corners of each dye-filled pixel and silver tile above this photoreceptor layer are notched, creating gaps that are like holes in a mask, allowing light to get through to the photoreceptors so they know how and when to change color.
