An Edible Chitosan‐Based Acoustic Sensor for Sound‐Responsive Actuation in Edible Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an edible acoustic sensor for robotic food and edible robotics. Built from a chitosan piezoelectric film between gold electrodes, the sensor enables acoustic communication through ON/OFF keying. Integrated into an edible robot with pneumatically actuated arms and neck, it responds to high‐frequency tones.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Bite-force difference among obese adolescents in central Taiwan

open access: yesJournal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2016
Maximal bite force of the jaw can cause thorough food chewing and result in good digestion. Bite force is related to the health of the masticatory muscles.

From Spider Bite to Fungating Ulcerating Mass: An Aggressive Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Face

open access: yesCureus
Necrotic facial lesions can have variable presentations, including presenting as a secondary infection. We present a case of a progressively enlarging necrotic facial lesion in an HIV-positive patient. The patient reported the lesion began five months earlier after a presumed brown recluse spider bite.

Memristive‐Gated RC‐Delay Synaptic Transistors for Time‐Encoded Analog in‐Memory Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A Memristive‐Gated Transistor for Time‐Encoded Analog In‐Memory Computing — By exploiting the RC delay of a self‐rectifying interface‐type memristor, nonlinear I–V distortion is structurally bypassed, enabling 3‐bit nonvolatile memory, spike‐timing‐based analog encoding, and hardware‐calibrated reservoir‐computing validation within a unified device ...

Comparison of FEM predictions and in vivo measurements of bite force.

open access: yes, 2013
Natural logarithms of FEM predicted bite force (red squares) and in vivo bite force (blue diamonds), plotted against body mass. Bite force is for rear bites, in vivo bite force data from Erickson [47].
