Abstract: Bioinspired superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted many industrial and academic interests in recent years. Inspired by unique superhydrophobicity and anisotropic friction properties of snake scale surfaces, this study explores the feasibility to produce a bionic superhydrophobic stainless steel surface via laser precision engineering, which allows the realization of directional superhydrophobicity and […]
Abstract: Soybean meal-based adhesives have been applied in many fields due to the abundant source and eco-friendly property. However, the preparation of high-performance soybean meal-based adhesives was still challenging. Inspired by the mineral-organic hybridization structure of nacre, hydroxyapatite and tannic acid complex was used as rigid nanofiller and cross-linker to improve […]
Researchers from AUT BioDesign have created a prosthetic fin to help injured sea turtles. These turtles tend to get harmed by boats and fishing nets in the ocean. This successful prosthetic fin is attached to the fin’s humerus by a STEM implant.
Researchers have developed small and agile drones that will hopefully assist in crop pollination and fly in crowded areas. Unlike previous small drone designs, Chen, main researcher, employs a soft actuator in place of the typical hard and fragile design. The drones are highly inspired by small insects that fly and […]
Abstract: Falls and subsequent complications are major contributors to morbidity and mortality, especially in older adults. Here, by taking inspiration from claws and scales found in nature, we show that buckling kirigami structures applied to footwear outsoles generate higher friction forces in the forefoot and transversally to […]
A bio-inspired approach to coating polydopamine (PDA) onto bamboo fiber (BF) was developed to enhance the poor interfacial bonding of BF/polybutylene succinate (PBS) biocomposites. (Reinforcing natural fibers with mussel adhesion techniques) Recently, energy shortages and environmental pollution have become a common human concern. For conventional plastics, such […]
A group of LMU physicists conduct a study to gain insight to the central question in the origin of life: how can structure emerge from randomness. This research paper shows that linking short oligomers from a random sequence pool in a templated ligation […]
Calico Life Sciences uses advanced technology with R&D to help lead others with longer and healthier lives. The computational biology intern role will focus on manipulating cell identities using experimental biology, machine learning, and genomics to generate hypothesis and execute biological experiments in […]
Paper Abstract: Developing untethered millirobots that can adapt to harsh environments with high locomotion efficiency is of interest for emerging applications in various industrial and biomedical settings. Despite recent success in exploiting soft materials to impart sophisticated functions which are not available in conventional rigid robotics, it […]
