The ability to propel against flows, that is, to perform positive rheotaxis, can provide exciting opportunities for applications in targeted therapeutics and non-invasive surgery. So far no biocompatible technologies exist for navigating microparticles upstream when they are in a background fluid flow. Inspired by many naturally occurring microswimmers—such as bacteria, spermatozoa […]
The aerodynamic designs of winged drones are optimized for specific flight regimes. Large lifting surfaces provide maneuverability and agility but result in larger power consumption, and thus lower range, when flying fast compared with small lifting surfaces. Birds like the northern goshawk meet these opposing aerodynamic requirements of aggressive flight in […]
About Connections
Team Connections. Before most Monday classes, design teams will add a Connection to share Bioinspired Design connections. These URLs can include relevant design or biology courses on campus; links to campus organizations, clubs, institutes and competitions interested in design; biological discoveries and bioinspired designs from news and journals; global research, centers, and institutes; and internships, public service, […]
