Recently, liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) have drawn much attention for its wide applications as artificial muscle in soft robotics, wearable devices, and biomedical engineering. One commonly adopted way to trigger deformation of LCEs is using embedded heating elements such as resistance heating wires and photothermal particles. To […]
A bio-inspired auxiliary fishbone-shaped flow field (AFFF) pattern is proposed and designed at the cathode flow field plate (FFP) of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells, in order to enhance under-rib mass transport and water removal from gas diffusion layer (GDL). The bio-inspired AFFF pattern is numerically […]
Bio-inspired intelligence is in the spotlight in the field of international artificial intelligence, and unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), owing to its potential to perform dangerous, repetitive tasks in remote and hazardous, is very promising for the technological leadership of the nation and essential for improving the […]
A long-standing goal of biology is the ability to predict gene expression from DNA sequence. A type of artificial intelligence known as a neural network, combined with high-throughput experiments, now brings this goal a step closer.

In response to the growing demand for indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and energy efficiency, abundant innovative bio-inspired cooling technologies have been proposed and their applications in buildings have been greatly demonstrated in the previous decades to enhance the benefits of building occupants. IEQ is associated with human […]
Animal walking is one of the most robust and adaptive locomotion mechanisms in the nature, involves sophisticated interactions between neural and biomechanical levels. It has been suggested that the coordination of this process is done in a hierarchy of levels. The lower layer […]
Abstract: Segmented hinges in the long, thin bones of fish fins are critical to the incredible mechanical properties of fins, and this design could inspire improved underwater propulsion systems, new robotic materials and even new aircraft designs.
The topic of flexible robots has come up multiple times in class and thought […]
Strong and tough natural composites such as bone, silk or nacre are often built from stiff blocks bound together using thin interfacial soft layers that can also provide sacrificial bonds for self-repair. Here we show that it is possible to exploit this design […]
