Morphological evolution of spiders predicted by pendulum mechanics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND:Animals have been hypothesized to benefit from pendulum mechanics during suspensory locomotion, in which the potential energy of gravity is converted into kinetic energy according to the energy-conservation principle.

Nature, 1878 I HAD anticipated in my own mind Mrs. Hubbard's suggestion, and only the great pressure on your space prevented my meeting it in my previous letter. In the first place, my recollection is that the spider was of a kind that spins no web; like our own grey hunting spider, familiar in the summer on walls and palings. In the next place no species of spider,

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A hydrogen‐bubble repellent conjugated polymeric coating improves an electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction maintaining a lower overpotential, a highly electrochemically active surface area and smaller Tafel slope. While the hydrogen‐bubble repellence because of polyglycerol moiety ensures an early detachment of produced hydrogen gas bubbles, the ...
