Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

Understanding the Aqueous Self‐Assembly of Raw Sophorolipid Mixtures Using a Statistical Approach Applied to Synchrotron Small Angle X‐Ray Scattering (SAXS): A Focus on pH, Dilution, Aging, and the Underestimated Role of Residual Fatty Acids

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
The statistical analysis of SAXS modelling data allows to identify the critical physicochemical parameters that have an impact on the phase behavior of crude sophorolipid batches. ABSTRACT The aqueous self‐assembly of raw sophorolipid mixtures has been studied by small angle x‐ray scattering (SAXS) to understand the impact of the composition ...
