In concert with the Mediated Matter group’s HLM additive manufacturing research, the emergent field of Hybrid Living Fibers (HLF) or “biohybrid” fiber systems has derived novel techniques to encapsulate or adsorb living and bio-active agents within fiber-based constructs.
Dragonflies swarms are a source of inspiration for this paper because of their ability to form swarms and communicate amongst themselves. This papers explores how swarming dragonflies can help in node identification in ultra-reliable low-latency communication. The aspects of dragonfly swarming that this […]
Students taking part in the program spend 8 to 12 weeks working in a laboratory of the NCCR Bio-Inspired Materials, where they have the opportunity to work on a research project and to interact with leading experts in their fields of interest and fellow students from around the world. The students […]
The Global Design Challenge challenges participants to tackle some of the most pressing that the world faces using nature/bio-inspired innovation. These challenges are derived from the UN Sustainable Development goals, which include reaching no poverty, reduced inequality, and clean and potable water for all. The competition encourages thoughtful bio-design with the […]
Pakistan is one of the most dangerous countries in Asia. Health care and medical concerns are rising due to lack of resources and leaders. Pakistan hosted its first international BioDesign conference from December 1st -18th, 2020. Lahore College for Women University in Lahore, Pakistan has created a department of Biotechnology. Roha […]
Construction is a labor-intensive industry that relies on dependent processes being completed in series. Redesigning fabrication processes to allow for parallelization and replacing workers with mobile multi-robot construction systems are strategies to expedite construction, but they typically require extensive supporting infrastructure and strictly constrain fabricable designs. Here […]
Fish adaption behaviors in complex environments are of great importance in improving the performance of underwater vehicles. This work presents a numerical study of the adaption behaviors of self‐propelled fish in complex environments by developing a numerical framework of deep learning and immersed boundary–lattice Boltzmann method (IB–LBM). In this framework, the […]
Biological creatures that can both maneuver and hover such as hummingbirds and bugs serve as inspiration for flapping wing micro air vehicles. This paper sought to find the optimal wing shape for the wings for a flapping wing micro air vehicle the size […]
Lieber’s team used photolithography to develop their ‘neuron-like electronics’ (NeuE) with an impressive size scale of only ~0.9 μm in total thickness, comparable to a myelinated axon (Fig. 1a). Utilizing their previously published methods for insertion6, they were able to successfully implant ~80% of their animals across several brain structures. Full […]
