Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Fluid flows shaping organism morphology
, 2018 A dynamic self-organized morphology is the hallmark of network-shaped organisms like slime moulds and fungi. Organisms continuously re-organize their flexible, undifferentiated body plans to forage for food. Among these organisms the slime mould Physarum

Electric Field Driven Soft Morphing Matter
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study presents soft morphing matter robots that exhibit extremely high morphological adaptability and complex multimodal electric field response. They can undergo large, controlled body deformation and show complex locomotion on different terrains under the manipulation of external electric fields, making a significant step beyond current ...

Borate‐Water‐Based 3D‐Slime Interface Quasi‐Solid Electrolytes for Li‐ion Batteries
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This advanced material, composed of lithium borate, lithium salt, and water, is a quasi‐solid that can be handled in air and has a 3D‐conducting‐interface network (3D‐Slime‐Interface Quasi‐Solid Electrolytes: 3D‐SLISE). The 3D‐SLISE is nonflammable and can be used in lithium‐ion batteries, and its water solubility allows direct recycling of active ...

Design Principles for Deployable Fibers Inspired by Hagfish Defense
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hagfish slime deploys fibers from coiled skeins to form an ultra‐dilute, water‐trapping network. Inspired by this mechanism, design principles are established for synthetic skeins, fabricated with tightly coiled fibers that unravel under flow. These synthetic skeins demonstrate deployable fibrous networks, highlighting generalizable strategies for ...
