- A robot inspired by centipedes has no trouble finding its footing Centipedes' undulating movements can sometimes improve robot mobility. Deposit PhotosResearchers at Osaka University designed a 'myriapod' bot that uses less energy and computational power than other walking machines. The post A robot inspired by centipedes has no trouble finding its footing appeared first on Popular Science....
- Elastomer fibers can stretch to become artificial muscles Researchers made shape-changing fibers by encapsulating a balloon-like elastomer tube in a braided textile sheath. Photo: Muh Amdadul Hoque.In two new studies, researchers at North Carolina State University (NC State) designed and tested a series of textile fibers that can change shape and generate force like a muscle. In the...
- Biomimetics, Vol. 8, Pages 226: Gut-on-a-Chip Research for Drug Development: Imp... The gut plays a key role in drug absorption and metabolism of orally ingested drugs. Additionally, the characterization of intestinal disease processes is increasingly gaining more attention, as gut health is an important contributor to our overall health. The most recent innovation to study intestinal processes in vitro is the...
- A noncommutative combinatorial protein logic circuit controls cell orientation i... Src-based nano-computing agent reversibly controls cell direction and dynamics on collagen nanolanes biomimetic fibers....
- Robo-gripper reflexively organizes cluttered spaces Robotics insights MIT researchers have developed a a pick-and-place robot with a gripper that grasps by reflex and can adapt if it fails to grasp an object the first time around. This is part of a larger theme as engineers and researchers are working on making robots behave more like...
- Speedy robo-gripper reflexively organizes cluttered spaces Rather than start from scratch after a failed attempt, the pick-and-place robot adapts in the moment to get a better hold....
- 3D bioprinting promises better scaffolds for knee repairs Schematic of the melt electrowriting (MEW) process for producing 3D bioprinted scaffolds for the growth of fibrocartilage tissue (inset photo).The meniscus keeps the knee stable and redistributes forces through the joint into surrounding collagen fibers. Despite their remarkable mechanical capabilities, the meniscus is prone to tear and, because of its...
- Surface modifications of COP-based microfluidic devices for improved immobilisat... Lab Chip, 2023, Accepted ManuscriptDOI: 10.1039/D3LC00075C, PaperSandra González-Lana, Teodora Randelovic, Jesus Ciriza, María López-Valdeolivas, Rosa Monge, Carlos Sanchez Somolinos, Ignacio OchoaThe tissue microenvironment plays a crucial role in tissue homeostasis and disease progression. However, the in vitro simulation has been limited by the lack of adequate biomimetic models in the...The...
- Robotic bees and roots offer hope of healthier environment and sufficient food The robotic bee replicants home in on the unsuspecting queen of a hive. But unlike the rebellious replicants in the 1982 sci-fi thriller Blade Runner, these ones are here to work. Combining miniature robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the plan is for the robotic bees to stimulate egg...

- Facile construction of a 3D tumor model with multiple biomimetic characteristics... Lab Chip, 2023, Accepted ManuscriptDOI: 10.1039/D3LC00009E, PaperMeilin Sun, Jinwei Zhang, Wenzhu Fu, Tingting Xuanyuan, Wenming LiuThe establishment and application of biomimetic preclinical tumor models for generalizable and high-throughput antitumor screening play a promising role in drug discovery and cancer therapeutics. Herein, a facile and robust...The content of this RSS Feed...
- Why Startups with the Right Sustainability Data are Poised to Thrive Navigating the landscape of sustainable reporting frameworks is not easy or affordable for most startups. Instead, they need to focus on being lean and flexible to survive the early stages while striving for an ambitious impact-focused mission. However, some recent news from the White House and UN make us believe...
