A codimension-2 bifurcation controlling endogenous bursting activity and pulse-triggered responses of a neuron model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The dynamics of individual neurons are crucial for producing functional activity in neuronal networks. An open question is how temporal characteristics can be controlled in bursting activity and in transient neuronal responses to synaptic input ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Spontaneous Synchronization of Beating Cilia: An Experimental Proof Using Vision-Based Control
Fluids, 2018 This article investigates the formation of spontaneous coordination in a row of flexible 2D flaps (artificial cilia) in a chamber filled with a high viscous liquid (Re = 0.12). Each flap is driven individually to oscillate by a rotary motor with the root

Robust Smart Superhydrophobic Cilia
Advanced Science, EarlyView.To date, ciliated surfaces cannot withstand mechanical damage because cilia/wires are inherently fragile. By aligning magneto‐responsive, flexible, superhydrophobic microwires on the sidewall of vertical frames, the frames act as armors to protect microwires from mechanical damage; when needed, the microwires re‐align uprightly under a magnet field to ...

Unraveling metachronal wave effects on heat and mass transfer in Non-Newtonian fluid
Case Studies in Thermal EngineeringNon-Newtonian fluids flow generated by “cilia” are critical in medicine and bio-medical engineering. Such investigations are created by the back-and-forth movement of a microscopic hair-like structure connected to the walls, which causes a metachronal ...

Mimicking Life: Autonomous Oscillating Artificial Cilia Driven by Chemical Power
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.The synthesis and motion analysis of chemically actuated, individually autonomous artificial cilia are presented. Driven by an internal chemical reaction, the self‐driven individual cilia require no external stimuli. They undergo periodic oscillatory motion with a 3D beat pattern and exhibit chemotactic shifts, reminiscent of biological systems.

Insect Science, EarlyView.This graphical abstract illustrates the kinematics and directionality of body turning in water striders (Gerris argentatus). The top image shows a water strider making turns, with arrows indicating possible directions and a dashed line tracing its path, highlighting its dynamic turning capabilities.

Expanding the Ichnofacies Model to Tidal Straits: Testing Predictions and Assessing Anomalies
Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 19-26, February 2026.ABSTRACT Trace fossils are instrumental in facies analysis, but some depositional environments remain underexplored. Cenozoic deposits in Italy have been studied to evaluate the ichnology of tidal straits. These comprise four zones: (1) strait centre, (2) dune‐bedded strait zone, (3) strait end and (4) strait margin.
