Limitation of Bacteria by Micro-Predators in Soil
, 1948 EIGHTY-SEVEN strains of very varied bacteria, comprising common and rare strains from soil, pigmented and non-pigmented ‘‘miscellaneous strains, and a number of plant pathogens, were tested on eight micro-predators belonging to four different groups ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by the octopus and the golden wheel spider, soft robots with liquid crystal elastomer arc fibers as appendages are fabricated to transcend surface constraints through an elevated center of mass and minimal contact footprints. By leveraging curvature‐encoded deformation‐recovery cycles, these robots exhibit contractile, torsional, and flexural ...

The challenge of compassion in predator conservation
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 This paper argues that compassion for wild animals and the humans living alongside them should be integral to wildlife conservation. Nowhere is this more apparent than in predator conservation, and case studies are used to explore the consequences of ...

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Schematic illustration of a sustainable nanofabrication process: chitosan derived from natural sources is used as a biodegradable thin film resist, patterned via Constant Pulse‐Assisted Force Lithography (CP‐AFL) to create tunable nanogrooves. These grooves template gold nanowire formation, enabling high‐resolution nanopatterning under ambient ...
