Acoustically assessing apes: chimpanzee conservation with passive acoustic monitoring [PDF]

, 2022
With one million species at risk of extinction, there is an urgent need to regularly monitor threatened wildlife. In practice this is challenging, especially with wide-ranging, elusive and cryptic species or those that occur at low densities, such as chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes).

Passive Acoustic Monitoring of Noisy Coral Reefs

CoRR
Passive acoustic monitoring offers the potential to enable long-term, spatially extensive assessments of coral reefs. To explore this approach, we deployed underwater acoustic recorders at ten coral reef sites around Singapore waters over two years.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Intelligent Acousto‐Electrical Metamaterials (IAM) for Sound Source Detection

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Our proposed metamaterial concept enables sound source detection using a single material, in contrast to conventional arrays that require dozens or even hundreds of transducers. We show that the coupled acoustic–vibrational–electrical responses in piezoelectric metamaterials give rise to topology‐governed charge transport, producing distinct voltage ...

Ultrafast Vertical Organic Electrochemical Transistors With Ion‐Permeable Conductive Polymer Top Electrodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Vertical organic electrochemical transistors (vOECTs) are limited in speed by ion‐impermeable metal electrodes that slow ion injection. Using ion‐permeable PBFDO top electrodes allows direct vertical ion injection into BBL channels, achieving high current densities (>400 A cm−2), large on/off ratios (>106), and ultrafast switching in 28 µs. This sets a
