Photochemical Fuel Carrier Molecules for Robotic Embodied Energy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We designed a novel fuel carrier photoresponsive molecule for on‐demand energy storage and release. Carrier molecules undergo bond scission under UV light to release chemical fuel and locally generate propulsive Marangoni flows. We demonstrate this photochemical embodied energy strategy in small‐scale robots and active matter systems, enabling ...

Assembling a True “Olympic Gel” From over 16 000 Combinatorial DNA Rings

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Olympic gels are an elusive class of soft matter, consisting of molecular networks held together purely by mechanically interlocked rings. Their topological structure promises unique properties and functions, but their synthesis has proven notoriously difficult.

Biomechanical analysis reveals hormonal crosstalk in inflorescence bending of cut stock flower

Scientific Reports
In cut stock (Matthiola incana L.), inflorescence bending is primarily caused by the bending moment generated by the weight of the floral structure. This phenomenon results in drooping of inflorescence onto neighboring plants, diminishing ornamental ...

Attitude and Orbital Dynamics of a Variable-Geometry, Spinning Solar Sail in Earth Orbit [PDF]

, 2017
At the ISSS 2013, a novel concept of variable-geometry solar sail was introduced: deployed in the shape of a three-dimensional quasi-rhombic pyramid (QRP), the sail exploited its shape and shift between center of mass and center of pressure to naturally ...
