"2020 SP Team 26"
The man behind the updated Mini, Fiat 500 and BMW X5 turns his eye to a completely different design project: the baby seat. The seat – built for 0-4 year olds – absorbs energy through a system that the design team calls ‘spiral technology’. The spiral technology is based on the […]
Abstract: “With high figure of merits (FOMs) and intelligent responsiveness, flexible transparent electrodes (FTEs) based on one-dimensional nanomaterials (1DNMs), covering silver nanowires (AgNWs), copper nanowires (CuNWs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), are of great promise for smart flexible electronics. Inspired by directional collection of water droplets on wetted spider silks, we propose […]
Abstract Patch plays an important role in clinical medicine for its broad applications in tissue repair and regeneration. Here, inspired by the diverse adhesion, anti-adhesion, and responsive structural color phenomena in biological interfaces, we present a hybrid hydrogel film with an adhesive polydopamine […]
One of the potential tools that could be deployable to help stimulate natural processes that are already breaking down methane and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is the Iron Salt Aerosol method being developed by Dr Renaud de Richter, a scientific researcher at the Institut Charles Gerhardt in France, and […]
Abstract: As an important application of functional biomaterials, neural probes have contributed substantially to studying the brain. Bioinspired and biomimetic strategies have begun to be applied to the development of neural probes, although these and previous generations of probes have had structural and mechanical dissimilarities from their neuron targets that lead […]
Abstract: Inspired by embryonic wound closure, we present mechanically active dressings to accelerate wound healing. Conventional dressings passively aid healing by maintaining moisture at wound sites. Recent developments have focused on drug and cell delivery to drive a healing process, but these methods are often complicated by […]
Abstract — We describe the design of an active soft anklefoot orthotic device powered by pneumatic artificial muscles for treating gait pathologies associated with neuromuscular disorders. The design is inspired by the biological musculoskeletal system of a human foot and a lower leg, and mimics the muscle-tendon-ligament structure. A key feature […]
