Additive Manufacturing of Ordered Polymer Nanostructures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new 3D printing strategy, Polymerization‐Induced Arrangement of Nanostructures with Order‐tunability (PIANO), enables the formation of ordered nanostructures in polymer materials by enhancing chain mobility during photopolymerization, overcoming the kinetic arrest that leads to disordered morphologies in the conventional Polymerization‐Induced ...

Edible insects: Cross-recognition of IgE from crustacean- and house dust mite allergic patients, and reduction of allergenicity by food processing

World Allergy Organization Journal, 2019
Background: Insects have become increasingly interesting as alternative nutrient sources for feeding humans and animals, most reasonably in processed form. Initially, some safety aspects — among them allergenicity — need to be addressed.

Soft Hardware, Flowing Software: Reconfigurable Microfluidics for Adaptable Chemical Computation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A reconfigurable microfluidic platform based on soft, photo‐printable, and chemically erasable hydrogel structures printed and erased in situ is used to control flow routing, mixing, chemical patterning, and even chemical computing. Using hardware to control chemical computations decouples logic function from molecular composition, demonstrated via ...

Bias‐Triggered Conductivity Relaxation (BCR): A Unique Tool to Simultaneously Investigate Thermodynamics, Kinetics, and Electrostatic Effects of Oxygen Reactions in MIEC Thin Films

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work develops bias‐triggered conductivity relaxation as a novel technique to study oxygen reactions in mixed ionic‐electronic conducting thin films by integrating electrochemical titration and electrical conductivity relaxation to achieve synchronous multi‐parameter characterization, providing simultaneous electronic, ionic, and extraordinarily ...

Learning Affects Host Preference in Tsetse Flies

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2005
Tsetse flies are very efficient cyclic vectors of African trypanosomosis. Since tsetse are generally infected by the first blood meal, as in the case of sleeping sickness for example, any propensity to feed on the same host a second time will improve ...

Parallel Electrical Integration of Photo Bio Electrochemical Systems (photo‐BESs): Performance Gains and Load Dependency

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.

MRSA in pig farming: the emerging role of flies in antimicrobial resistance: a cross-sectional study

Porcine Health Management
Background The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, particularly its methicillin-resistant form (MRSA), presents significant public health challenges due to its resistance to β-lactam antibiotics and frequent multidrug resistance.

A new type of ant-decapitation in the Phoridae (Insecta: Diptera)

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2015
The genus Dohrniphora is a hyperdiverse group of phorid flies, a family whose species are commonly characterized as generalized scavengers. The lifestyle of most species of Dohrniphora is unknown, although one cosmopolitan, synanthropic species, D ...

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Stable Imitation of Multigait and Bipedal Motions for Quadrupedal Robots Over Uneven Terrains

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
How are quadrupedal robots empowered to execute complex navigation tasks, including multigait and bipedal motions? Challenges in stability and real‐world adaptation persist, especially with uneven terrains and disturbances. This article presents an imitation learning framework that enhances adaptability and robustness by incorporating long short‐term ...
