Energy localisation and frequency analysis in the locust ear [PDF]
, 2013 Animal ears are exquisitely adapted to capture sound energy and perform signal analysis. Studying the ear of the locust, we show how frequency signal analysis can be performed solely by using the structural features of the tympanum.

Probing and Tuning Strain‐Localized Exciton Emission in 2D Material Bubbles at Room Temperature
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work provides an approach: 1) to directly visualize the associated exciton properties, revealing an intrinsic emission wavelength shift, and 2) actively modify local strain, enabling further exciton emission tuning. These findings provide direct insights into the strain‐localized emission dynamics in bubbles and establish a robust framework for ...

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

The alpha1 subunit of the GABA(A) receptor modulates fear learning and plasticity in the lateral amygdala. [PDF]
, 2009 Synaptic plasticity in the amygdala is essential for emotional learning. Fear conditioning, for example, depends on changes in excitatory transmission that occur following NMDA receptor activation and AMPA receptor modification in this region.
