Bio. Discoveries Translated into Devices: Paper, Bamboo-inspired cell-scale assembly for energy device applications

By YiZhu On April 1, 2022 · Leave a Comment · In 2022 SP Team 30, 2022 SP Week 07, Biol. Discoveries translated into devices

Rapid advances in flexible and wearable smart textiles demand low-cost, high-energy/power-density fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSCs). The performance of FSCs is determined by the fabrication and assembly of fiber-shaped electrodes (FSEs), where an active charge-storage material is always clad around flexible charge transmission current collectors. Inspired by the tissue structure of natural bamboo, wherein parenchyma cells (PCs) […]

Biological Discoveries:News, How does a lizard shed its tail?

By YiZhu On February 18, 2022 · Leave a Comment · In 2022 SP Team 30, 2022 SP Week 03, Biological Discoveries

Among many escape strategies that animals have evolved to evade capture by their predators, autotomy is a prominent one, whereby an animal self-amputates a body part, such as a leg or a tail (see the photo), just to elude its attacker. The ease with which animals can shed their body parts depends on the anatomy […]
