Thermal-responsive lubricant infused surface based on composite phase change materials for durable and efficient scale resistance

open access: yesNano Research
Lubricant infused surface (LIS) always displays efficient anti-fouling performance. However, the inherent liquid properties of infused lubricants often lead to their rapid depletion in harsh conditions such as water flushing, thereby reducing the ...

Programmable persistent random walks in active Brownian particles govern emergent dynamics

open access: yesCommunications Physics
Self-propelled particles serve as minimal models for emulating the dynamic self-organization of microorganisms, yet most synthetic systems remain limited to a single mode of motion, namely active Brownian particles (ABPs).

The impact of cell density variations on nanoparticle uptake across bioprinted A549 gradients

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionThe safe-by-design of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) for any application requires a detailed understanding of how the particles interact with single cells. Most studies are based on two-dimensional, uniformly dense cell cultures, which do not

Bio-inspired Grammatical Inference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The field of Grammatical Inference was originally motivated by the problem of natural language acquisition. However, the formal models proposed within this field have left aside this linguistic motivation. In this paper, we propose to improve models and techniques used in Grammatical Inference by using ideas coming from linguistic studies. In that way,
