Primer‐Disk‐Enabled DNA Data Storage System with Index and Record‐Many‐Read‐Many Features
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A primer‐disk‐enabled DNA data storage system is introduced, which allows for append‐recording of DNA files on demand, retrieval via inkjet printed QR code, and multiple ramdom read of DNA information via solid‐phase PCR. The hiearchical system with index and record‐many‐read‐many features paves the way for the practical use of DNA data storage ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Strain gauges are attached to biomimetic flapping wings to investigate how wing strain sensors detect wind directions. A convolutional neural network model for wind direction classification is developed through experiments. The results reveal that wind classification is possible with strain data of only 0.2 flapping cycles, and the use of biomimetic ...
