Sponge-specific microbes and the Earth Microbiome Project

open access: yes, 2014
The specificity of associated microorganisms is a major theme in marine sponge microbiology. Much attention has been given to the existence (or otherwise) of monophyletic, 16S rRNA gene sequence clusters which represent bacteria found only in sponges and

A Worm‐Inspired Origami Robot with Multimodal Locomotion for Adaptive Mobility in Complex Pipeline Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes

Photonic‐Enabled Energy‐Efficient Transparent Neuromorphic Computing Devices: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Transparent photonic neuromorphic computing devices merge optics and brain‐inspired computing to overcome von Neumann bottlenecks with ultrafast, low‐energy processing. By exploiting transparent oxides, 2D materials, phase‐change materials, and hybrid heterostructures, these platforms enable photonic synapses, memory, and logic for see‐through edge ...

Recent Advances in Carbon Cathode Materials toward High‐Performing Zinc‐Ion Hybrid Supercapacitors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Aqueous zinc‐ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSCs) have emerged as promising next‐generation electrochemical energy‐storage devices. Porous carbon materials have been extensively studied as cathodes, with advances in tailoring pore structures and material properties to enhance performance.

Irma-Sponge proposal

open access: yes, 1999
After the flooding events in the recent years in the Rhine and Meuse basin and the subsequently developed action plans, awareness has grown that the issue of flood risk management has to be considered in an integrated, transnational context where ...

Wearable Electro‐Thermal Haptic Stimulator Driven by a Self‐Powered Tactile Sensor for Realistic Stimulus Replication

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a stimulus‐replicating system combining a tactile sensor with a wearable Peltier thermotactile module and concentric electrotactile electrode. Signals encoding pressure and temperature drive the stimulators to reproduce mechano‐thermal cues on the skin. AlN/PDMS encapsulation and SA/LA PSA ensure mechanical compliance and thermal efficiency.

A Molten Salt Extraction Method for Palladium Recovery via the CaPd2 Intermetallic Compound

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A designed Ca → CaPd2 → Pd pathway enables acid–free palladium recovery in molten salt. Calcium alloying forms anionic CaPd2, which is selectively oxidized by iodine from CaI2 to yield high–purity metallic Pd. ABSTRACT To address palladium scarcity and the low efficiency of conventional recovery processes, this work presents a molten–salt extraction ...

New species from the deep Pacific suggest that carnivorous sponges date back to the Early Jurassic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Some deep-sea poecilosclerid sponges (Porifera) have developed a carnivorous feeding habit that is very surprising in sponges^1^. As shown by the typical morphology of their spicules, they most probably evolved from "normal sponges" under the ...

Lightweight and Efficient Microwave-Absorbing Materials Based on Loofah-Sponge-Derived Hierarchically Porous Carbons

open access: yes, 2018
Lightweight, low-cost, and effective microwave-absorbing materials are important in electronics, communication, and military defense. Recently, microwave-absorbing materials stemming from biomass have drawn increasing attention for their sustainable ...
