Aiming at the problem of high wall shear stress at the nozzle of micro extrusion biological 3D printing technology, this paper proposes a method of reducing the viscosity of biological ink through vibration, so as to reduce the shear stress and improve printing efficiency and cell vitality. The 3D bioprinting extrusion device is taken as […]
Durability and load-bearing are difficult to be combined in engineering systems. Hence, in majority of man-made structures, the two characteristics are typically mutually exclusive. Nature, however, has provided us with design strategies, through which many biological systems have overcome this conflict. Insect wings represent a striking example of such a combination. […]
The thermal effect is a bothersome issue related to various types of photovoltaic (PV) panels in real working conditions. In this paper, we demonstrate a new and simple hydrogel cooling method that is inspired by marine mussels. We design an organic–inorganic hydrogel with all-weather adhesive and tunable cooling functions. Adhesion is achieved by the formation […]
