Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

Microbial production of biopolymers and polymer precursors: applications and perspectives
, 2009 A huge variety of biopolymers, such as polysaccharides, polyesters, and polyamides, are naturally produced by microorganisms. These range from viscous solutions to plastics and their physical properties are dependent on the composition and molecular ...

An Overlooked Transport Mechanism in Organic Mixed Conductors
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Electrical transport in organic mixed ionic‐electronic conductors is commonly described by ionic and electronic conduction. Here, eumelanin reveals that polarization‐assisted displacement currents constitute an additional transport component that coexists with conductive transport.

High‐Throughput DNA Sequence Space Exploration for Carbon Nanotube Biosensor Design
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.For the screening of next‐generation biosensors, we developed a high‐throughput nanotube platform using covalent DNA‐anchor chemistry to recruit ssDNA motifs via hybridization. Automated liquid handling and spectroscopy enable synthesis of 180 unique sensors and testing of over 540 sensor/analyte conditions in three days.

Sequence Redundancy in Biopolymers - A Study on RNA and Protein Structures
, 1997 Mapping sequences onto biopolymer structures is characterized by redundancy since the numbers of sequences exceed the numbers of structures. The degree of Redundancy depends on the notion of structure.

Engineering Antigen Density on M13 Bacteriophage for Personalized Nanovaccine
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Increasing antigen density on the phage capsid impacts phage uptake and antigen cross‐presentation by antigen‐presenting cells, leading to enhanced activation of antitumor CD8+ T cells in the draining lymph nodes. These activated CD8+ T cells subsequently recognize the antigen‐expressing tumors and mediate their specific cytotoxic killing, thereby ...
