SQUID FINS PRODUCE LIFT, THRUST AND STABILITY [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2010
Squid are remarkably versatile swimmers. While most fish find it difficult to reverse, squid are equally happy going backward and forward, swimming tail first at high speeds but arms first when hovering and swimming slowly to survey the area.

Printable Conductive Hydrogels for Electrochemical Biosensing and Soft Bioelectronic Interfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Flexible, conductive hydrogels that integrate printability, mechanical tunability, biocompatibility, and electronic performance remain challenging to achieve. Here, we develop 3D‐printable poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(pyrrole)‐ hydrogels with tissue‐like mechanics, high cytocompatibility, and robust electrochemical function.

Two Routes to Land: Genomic Underpinnings of Parallel Aerial Egg Deposition in Aquatic Old‐World Pila and New‐World Pomacea (Ampullariidae)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

A Computational Strategy for Identifying Self‐Assembling Food‐Derived Molecules for Antiparasitic Nanotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated computational screening strategy identified ursolic acid (UA) and 18β‐glycyrrhetinic acid (18βGA) as a self‐assembling food‐derived molecular pair. The resulting carrier‐free nanoparticles (UA‐18βGA) showed synergistic antiparasitic activity, reduced combined toxicity, and host‐protective anti‐inflammatory effects in zebrafish and murine ...

Thermal stability of germanium-tin (GeSn) fins [PDF]

Applied Physics Letters, 2017
We investigate the thermal stability of germanium-tin (Ge1−xSnx) fins under rapid thermal annealing in N2 ambient. The Ge1−xSnx fins were formed on a GeSn-on-insulator substrate and were found to be less thermally stable than blanket Ge1−xSnx films. The morphology change and material quality of the annealed Ge1−xSnx fin are investigated using scanning ...

Transferable Deep Reinforcement Learning With Edge‐Contour‐Depth Fusion for Autonomous Wireless Capsule Endoscopy Navigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an anatomical landmark‐guided DRL framework for autonomous wireless capsule endoscopy navigation. Using a lightweight edge‐contour‐depth fusion module, it achieves over 97% coverage across diverse gastric anatomies. To ensure reliability, a two‐stage sim‐to‐real pipeline with an adaptive dynamic programming controller mitigates ...

Fixed-time adaptive RBF neural network controller via minimum learning parameter for ship roll stabilization

Applied Ocean Research
In this study, a fixed-time adaptive radial basis function (RBF) neural network controller is proposed for ship roll stabilization, considering fixed-time convergence, the computational burden reduction, unknown dynamics, and external disturbances. First,

Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation for Development of Fin Stabilizer

International Journal of Ocean System Engineering, 2013
A ship cruising in the ocean oscillates continuously due to wave action. In order to reduce the ship's roll, we developed a fin stabilizer as an anti-rolling device for a 500-ton-class high-speed marine vessel. During the development phase, it was necessary to set up control gains for the motion and hydraulic systems and assess the effectiveness of the

Programmable Hydration Pathways Enable Reconfigurable Ionic Thermoelectrics for Energy Harvesting and Thermal‐Tactile Interaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Programmable hydration pathways enable reconfigurable ionic thermoelectrics in polyquaternium hydrogels. By coupling microscopic solvation, mesoscale water channels, and macroscopic boundary control, hydration‐gated protonics decouples thermopower, response speed, and stability.

Fin stabilizer control strategy based on adaptive sliding mode

Applied Ocean Research
Ships are typically equipped with fin stabilizers to effectively weaken ship’s roll and enhance the voyage's safety. To achieve better anti-roll performance, this study proposes an adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) method for a roll reduction ...
