Multimodal Haptic Perception Through Synergistic Nanocomposite Sensor Arrays

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Multi‐modal fingertip haptics are advanced through a bioinspired &vertical‐via' electronic skin architecture. A confined PDMS/MWCNT/NiNP nanocomposite, sitting at the percolation threshold, enables tactile, thermal, and magnetic sensing. A unique via‐density gradient and dedicated &Un‐Touch' reference nodes provide robust spatial resolution and signal ...

The Ciliated “Urns” of the Sipunculids [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1908
IN the winter of 1871–2 I studied the richly corpusculated perivisceral fluid of Sipunculus nudus at Naples. I was with Anton Dohrn, who was making arrangements for the building of his celebrated laboratory. That remarkable marine zoologist Krohn, who in 1851 had described the ciliated “urns” (Topfchen) of the body-fluid of Sipunculus as parasites, was

Can a fermentation gas mainly produced by rumen Isotrichidae ciliates be a potential source of biohydrogen and a fuel for a chemical fuel cell? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Bacteria, fungi and protozoa inhabiting the rumen – the largest chamber of the ruminants’ stomach, release large quantities of hydrogen during the fermentation of carbohydrates.
