Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Diversity of Symbiodiniaceae in 15 Coral Species From the Southern South China Sea: Potential Relationship With Coral Thermal Adaptability

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
It is well-known that the adaptability of coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis to thermal stress varies among coral species, but the cause and/or mechanism behind it are not well-understood. In this study, we aimed to explore this issue based on zooxanthellae

Physics of Selective Targeting of Cancer Cells by Magnetoelectric Nanoparticles: Exploring the Role of Conductivity and Capacitance in Tumor‐Specific Attraction

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
Magnetoelectric nanoparticles exploit cancer cells' electrical vulnerabilities—altered membrane charge and higher capacitance—to achieve tumor‐specific targeting without bioreagents. MATLAB simulations reveal how electromagnetic forces create targeting specificity, while external magnetic fields enhance precision. This may enable wirelessly controlled,

A Complementarity‐Based Approach to De Novo Binder Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel method for surface complementarity detection (HECTOR) enables highly efficient docking and design of protein interfaces. Applied to therapeutically relevant targets, this method yields de novo binders with potent antagonistic activity. As a first‐principles approach, HECTOR offers a training‐free solution to the binder design problem and is ...
