Nanoporous Microelectrodes for Neural Electrophysiology Recordings in Organotypic Culture

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The highly porous microelectrodes have been designed and printed on culture membranes, allowing to record electrophysiological neural activity for rodent brain slices. To keep the biocompatible nanoporous structure, the microelectrodes and insulative layer are fabricated on the bottom of culture membranes with only small connector pads added on the top.

Review of existing information on the interrelations between soil and climate change. (ClimSoil). Final report [PDF]

, 2008
Carbon stock in EU soils – The soil carbon stocks in the EU27 are around 75 billion tonnes of carbon (C); of this stock around 50% is located in Sweden, Finland and the United Kingdom (because of the vast area of peatlands in these countries) and ...

Effect of Host Anisotropy on Phosphorescent Emitter Orientation and Light Outcoupling in OLEDs

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
The orientation of the emissive transition dipole moment of a cage‐type Iridium complex can be tuned by the anisotropic alignment of the cohost material, which is expressed as the S$S$ parameter of the film. Thus, the external quantum efficiency of OLEDs can be further enhanced to reach values above 30%.

Identifying suitable forested areas and protected forests for the conservation of white-thighed (Colobus vellerosus) and king (C. polykomos) colobus monkeys under climate change in West Africa

Global Ecology and Conservation
Colobus vellerosus and Colobus polykomos are closely related, parapatric species endemic to West Africa. Both species face severe threats from illegal hunting and habitat destruction, with population declines exceeding 80 % for C. vellerosus and 50 % for

Desertification and Climate Change in Africa [PDF]

, 2020
Desertification has increased in African drylands in recent decades, led by land use change, climatic variability and poor land management practices. People living in drylands in Africa are highly vulnerable to desertification and climate change, because

Learning Highly Dynamic Skills Transition for Quadruped Jumping Through Constrained Space

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A quadruped robot masters dynamic jumps through constrained spaces with animal‐inspired moves and intelligent vision control. This hierarchical learning approach combines imitation of biological agility with real‐time trajectory planning. Although legged animals are capable of performing explosive motions while traversing confined spaces, replicating ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
