Adaptive Elastin‐Like Hydrogel with Unidirectional and Controllable Anisotropic Actuation for Soft Robotics and Tissue Engineering

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Fiber‐reinforced elastin‐like tubular scaffolds are engineered to achieve anisotropic and reversible actuation under external stimuli. By adjusting fiber's angle, actuation behavior is finely tuned, enabling distinct actuation responses, even within different regions of the same scaffold.

The metabolic pathways and environmental controls of hydrocarbon biodegradation in marine ecosystems

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms are ubiquitous in the world's oceans (Head et al., 2006; Yakimov et al., 2007), and biodegradation mediated by indigenous microbial communities is the ultimate fate of the majority of oil hydrocarbon that enters the ...

Biodegradation of Wasted Bioplastics in Natural and Industrial Environments: A Review

, 2020
The problems linked to plastic wastes have led to the development of biodegradable plastics. More specifically, biodegradable bioplastics are the polymers that are mineralized into carbon dioxide, methane, water, inorganic compounds, or biomass through ...

Poka: A Necro‐Robot Beetle with a Measured Payload Ratio of 6847%

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, Poka, a necro‐robot beetle with the ability to carry more than 68 times its own weight, is introduced, making it also a walking robot with the highest payload ratio measured to date. This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka', a novel millimetre‐scale necro‐robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between ...

The private life of environmental bacteria: pollutant biodegradation at the single cell level.

Environmental Microbiology, 2014
Bacteria display considerable cell-to-cell heterogeneity in a number of genetic and physiological traits. Stochastic differences in regulatory patterns (e.g. at the transcriptional level) propagate into the metabolic and physiological status of otherwise

Predicting the effects of biochar on volatile petroleum hydrocarbon biodegradation and emanation from soil: a bacterial community finger-print analysis inferred modelling approach [PDF]

, 2014
We investigated the response of the dominant bacterial taxa in gravelly sand to the addition of biochar and/or mixtures of volatile petroleum hydrocarbons (VPHs) using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and sequencing of cut bands.

Predicting Fiber Length Characteristics of Recycled Cotton and Cellulose Fiber Blends Using Machine Learning Models

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
This study explores machine learning‐driven prediction of fiber length characteristics in sustainable yarn blends made from recycled cotton and Lyocell. By analyzing empirical data through models like Random Forest and Gradient Boosting, and interpreting results with SHAP, key fiber length features from the Staple Diagram and Fibrogram are identified ...

Electrical Microneedles for Wound Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A review on state‐of‐art research concerning electrical microneedles applied for wound treatment is presented. After a comprehensive analysis of mechanisms of electrical stimulation on wound healing, the derived three types of electrical microneedles are clarified and summarized. Further, their applications in wound healing are highlighted.
