Scientists have long sought to replicate the shock-absorbing and lubricating properties of cartilage, with such a material undoubtedly having a range of applications in engineering and beyond. However, the bi-phase nature of cartilage – whereby it exists in both solid and fluid states, depending on the presence of synovial fluid in […]
Robotics have become an active research area in recent years. Bioinspired foot robots have become a topic of interest in the field of robot research, because of their unique motion form, control method, and adaptability in complex environments [1, 2]. The stability and load capacity of a quadruped robot are much […]
The human use of animal pigments is just one facet of what makes animal colouration fascinating. Colours play a host of important roles in the animal world, from attracting mates and warding off predators to camouflage and even communication. They have deep ecological influences, and the chemistry, biology, and physics that […]
Abstract: This study aims to minimize the noise generated by automobile cooling fans. Fan blade structures with ridged surfaces based on bio-inspired principles are 3D printed and used to replace the conventional fan blades. The effect of the bio-inspired ridge structures on the […]
3D bioprinting is gaining traction as a technique to construct complex tissue structures. In this paper, researchers determine whether or not the cross-linking structures in bioprinting will be able to mimic mechanical properties. The research combines engineering, biology, and material science.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable biopolymers produced in plants which can be used to address issues with plastic waste. However, scientists have constantly faced the problem of growth defects in plants which harmfully affects the accumulation of PHAs. However, this article explains how genetic modification can be used […]
