Multifunctional Fluidic Units for Emergent, Responsive Robotic Behaviors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional reconfigurable fluidic unit can be used as sensor, valve and actuator is presented. A unique configuration combines the features of the three components as a Responsive self‐oscillating actuator. The remarkable versatility of the fluidic unit is demonstrated by building different robots with the same fluidic units only by varying ...

Counterintuitive Fluorescence Blue Shift in Symmetry Breaking Dicationic Bis(indolium) with Two‐Photon Absorption Properties for NIR Living Cell Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Highly water‐soluble dicationic bis(indolium) dyes have been prepared, showing excellent two‐photon absorption and light emission. Their fluorescence behavior discloses an unusual increasing blue shift with increasing solvent polarity, which, in parallel, is beneficial for enhanced detection in biological media.

Evolution of social behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Nowak et al.1 wish to explain why the version of kin selection theory that is summarised by the formula R>c/b (c=cost of performing 'altruistic' act, b=benefit derived by recipient of act, R=relatedness between the two) is of little ...

Evolution of alarm cues: a test of the kin selection hypothesis

open access: yes, 2014
The evolution of alarm signals has puzzled evolutionary ecologists for decades. This is particularly true for alarm cues (‘Schreckstoff’) which are present in many fishes. They are passively released through injuries and signal the presence of a predator.

Giant Berry‐phase‐Driven X‐Ray Beam Translations in Strain‐Engineered Semiconductor Crystals

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the Berry‐phase effect, X‐rays propagating in deformed crystals undergo large translations, interesting for X‐ray optics applications. Here, the lattice expansion observed upon H irradiation of dilute‐nitride semiconductors is exploited to engineer the deformation landscape of selectively hydrogenated GaAsN epilayers.

Organic Electrochemical Transistors for Neuromorphic Devices and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Organic electrochemical transistors are emerging as promising platforms for neuromorphic devices that emulate neuronal and synaptic activities and can seamlessly integrate with biological systems. This review focuses on resultant organic artificial neurons, synapses, and integrated devices, with an emphasis on their ability to perform neuromorphic ...
