Biological and Biologically Inspired Functional Nanostructures: Insights into Structural, Optical, Thermal, and Sensing Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biological and biologically‐inspired functional nanostructures with structural, thermal, optical, and sensing applications are reviewed. The role of nanoscale features in biological materials on performance is described, and their blueprints are used for bio‐inspired nanomaterials, synthesized using advanced techniques (i.e., photolithography, bio ...

Review of Thin Lithium Metal Battery Anode Fabrication – Microstructure – Electrochemistry Relations

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Thin, lightweight lithium‐metal anodes are pivotal for practical high‐energy batteries. This review surveys processing routes that convert diverse Li precursors, e.g., ingots, melts, solutions, and vapor, into Li‐rich foils with controlled thickness, areal density, and tailored functionality.

Nature‐Inspired Design Strategies for Efficient Atmospheric Water Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents advances in bioinspired atmospheric water harvesting systems, emphasizing how structural motifs such as wettability gradients, directional transport, and hierarchical porosity have been translated into engineered fog‐collection and vapor‐sorption strategies for enhanced water uptake, accelerated transport, and energy‐efficient ...

RAMUS: Printable, Mechanically‐Tunable and Biodegradable Cellulose‐Mediated Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Ramus, a Latin term meaning “branch,” develops large‐scale, ambient conditions additively manufactured, and biodegradable cellulose‐based biomaterial composites able to mediate their structural capacity from micro to macroscale. Abstract Ramus develops large‐scale, ambient conditions additively manufactured, and biodegradable cellulose‐based ...

Spinnen aus Malaisefallen

open access: yesArachnologische Mitteilungen, 1994
The spider fauna of the higher vegetation strata is by far less well investigated than the bulk of epigeic spiders. The present paper refers to spiders collected in Malaise traps that were used during an insect sampling program in Brandenburg (Germany ...

Spider vision

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2020
Morehouse provides an overview of spider vision, with an emphasis on the two main eye types found in spiders. Commonalities of form and function among spiders are discussed but also the huge diversity of eyes that are adapted to various ecological niches.
