A bioinspired spider silk fiber (i.e., PCLC) of MOF‐Based Zwitterionic Hydrogel is designed to achieve the high efficient water uptake and releasing for atmospheric water harvesting in low humidity, which confirm its high reversibility of water vapor adsorption, and also good cycling stability as well, providing new insights into the design of advanced

The Antarium: A Reconstructed Visual Reality Device for Ant Navigation Research
We constructed a large projection device (the Antarium) with 20,000 UV-Blue-Green LEDs that allows us to present tethered ants with views of their natural foraging environment.

Flexibility evaluation of hybrid WDM/TDM PONs [PDF]
A hybrid WDM/TDM passive optical network (PON) is a promising candidate for next-generation optical access (NGOA) solutions. Several hybrid WDM/TDM PON architectures can be designed, each with a different degree of flexibility, going from fully static ...

An Injection‐Molded Modified Silicone Rubber for Cancer‐on‐Chip Applications
This study describes the characterization and application of an injection‐molded functionalized PDMS fluidic insert for the commercially available Micronit system. Modified PDMS can accommodate cell culture and is able to covalently bind proteins for long‐lasting coatings under flow‐conditions.

Operational seasonal and interannual predictions of ocean conditions [PDF]
Dr. Leetmaa described current work at the U.S. National Meteorological Center (NMC) on coupled systems leading to a seasonal prediction system. He described the way in which ocean thermal data is quality controlled and used in a four dimensional data ...

Ants biting amphibians: A review and new observations [PDF]
Antagonistic interactions between insects and amphibians are the subject of many scientific articles, mostly concerning amphibian predation on insect, but many fewer examples exist of the opposite situation.

Electrospinning enables the hierarchical assembly of nanofiber‐based scaffolds for tissue engineering. However, encapsulated proteins often undergo structural changes. This study used mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as protective carriers, mitigating protein denaturation and supporting controlled release.

Use of fluorescent ANTS to examine the BBB-permeability of polysaccharide
Recently, some polysaccharides showed therapeutic potentials for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases while the most important property, their permeability to the blood brain barrier (BBB) that sheathes the brain and spinal cord, is not yet ...

Distributed House-Hunting in Ant Colonies
We introduce the study of the ant colony house-hunting problem from a distributed computing perspective. When an ant colony's nest becomes unsuitable due to size constraints or damage, the colony must relocate to a new nest.
