TacScope: A Miniaturized Vision‐Based Tactile Sensor for Surgical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
TacScope is a compact, vision‐based tactile sensor designed for robot‐assisted surgery. By leveraging a curved elastomer surface with pressure‐sensitive particle redistribution, it captures high‐resolution 3D tactile feedback. TacScope enables accurate tumor detection and shape classification beneath soft tissue phantoms, offering a scalable, low‐cost ...

Biogeochemical transformations and fluxes in redox-stratified environments: from the shallow coastal ocean to the deep subsurface. Geologica Ultraiectina (291) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Biogeochemical activity is often concentrated at interfaces where the supplies of bioessential elements and energy converge. Processes in these environments control to a large extent the exchange fluxes between the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and ...

Microbial redox processes in deep subsurface environments and the potential application of (per)chlorate in oil reservoirs

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
The ability of microorganisms to thrive under oxygen-free conditions in subsurface environments relies on the enzymatic reduction of oxidized elements, such as sulfate, ferric iron or CO2, coupled to the oxidation of inorganic or organic compounds.

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.
