Zoborg: On‐Demand Climbing Control for Cyborg Beetles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel on‐demand climbing protocol enables Zoborg (a cyborg beetle from the living Zophobas morio) to seamlessly transition from horizontal floors to vertical walls. Multiple unrestrained mechanosensors allow wall sensing while electrical stimulation of the elytron initiates climbing. Leveraging the agile locomotion and exceptional adaptability of the

Enhanced Brain‐Heart Connectivity as a Precursor of Reduced State Anxiety after Therapeutic Virtual Reality Immersion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that enhanced brain‐to‐heart coupling is a precursor of anxiety reduction following a virtual reality‐based non‐pharmacological intervention. Driven by midline beta rhythms, this effect suggests the involvement of central‐autonomic interactions.

Community-Driven Salty Urbanism: Combating Coastal Erosion [PDF]

open access: yesUrbanism. Arhitectura. Constructii
Coastal erosion is a growing problem worldwide and seriously threatens coastal infrastructure ecosystems and communities, particularly in areas where urban development has encroached on natural shorelines. Salty urbanism, an approach to urban design that

WHERE DO YOU BREATHE? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The project wheredoyoubreathe.net consists of three elements: a photographic essay, an urban intervention, and a website. The photographic essay forms an investigation of the city through the act of walking. As opposed to the image of the city as a dense

Urban History, Urban Health

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Public Health, 2001
Over the course of the 20th century, the United States became an urban nation: 80% of Americans now live in metropolitan areas. Supplying basic sanitary services—drinking water, sewers, and garbage removal—to these cities is a gargantuan task, yet most people have little understanding of urban infrastructure systems and their enormous regional ...

A Water‐Triggered Sensor for Self‐Powered Flood Alarming

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Urban floods related to global warming generally cause significant casualties. Traditional cable flood warning systems are costly, while wireless ones face power limitations. This research proposes a self‐powered flood sensor with a water‐triggered Galvanic battery, enabling rapid flood warnings with great promise of low cost and long service lifetime.

Wearable PEDOT:PSS/DVS‐Coated Yarn‐Type Transpiration‐Driven Electrokinetic Power Generator with High Power Efficiency and Water Stability

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A PEDOT:PSS‐based yarn‐type transpiration‐driven electrokinetic power generator with a covalently crosslinking agent, divinyl sulfone, is investigated to address the poor water stability of PEDOT:PSS and achieve an exceptional power generation efficiency. The designed device successfully charges commercial capacitors using a biological aqueous solution,
