Bio-inspired, Moisture-Powered Hybrid Carbon Nanotube Yarn Muscles.

Scientific reports
Hygromorph artificial muscles are attractive as self-powered actuators driven by moisture from the ambient environment. Previously reported hygromorph muscles have been largely limited to bending or torsional motions or as tensile actuators with low ...

Investigation and Manipulation of Different Analog Behaviors of Memristor as Electronic Synapse for Neuromorphic Applications.

Scientific reports
Low-power and high-density electronic synapse is an important building block of brain-inspired systems. The recent advancement in memristor has provided an opportunity to advance electronic synapse design. However, a guideline on designing and manipu...

Mechanisms of memory storage in a model perirhinal network.

Brain structure & function
The perirhinal cortex supports recognition and associative memory. Prior unit recording studies revealed that recognition memory involves a reduced responsiveness of perirhinal cells to familiar stimuli whereas associative memory formation is linked ...

A new approach to the automatic identification of organism evolution using neural networks.

Bio Systems
Automatic identification of organism evolution still remains a challenging task, which is especially exiting, when the evolution of human is considered. The main aim of this work is to present a new idea to allow organism evolution analysis using neu...

Softworms: the design and control of non-pneumatic, 3D-printed, deformable robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Robots that can easily interact with humans and move through natural environments are becoming increasingly essential as assistive devices in the home, office and hospital. These machines need to be safe, effective, and easy to control. One strategy ...

Highly stretchable electroluminescent skin for optical signaling and tactile sensing.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Cephalopods such as octopuses have a combination of a stretchable skin and color-tuning organs to control both posture and color for visual communication and disguise. We present an electroluminescent material that is capable of large uniaxial stretc...

Preconditioning 2D Integer Data for Fast Convex Hull Computations.

PloS one
In order to accelerate computing the convex hull on a set of n points, a heuristic procedure is often applied to reduce the number of points to a set of s points, s ≤ n, which also contains the same hull. We present an algorithm to precondition 2D da...

Mass entrapment and lysis of Mesodinium rubrum cells in mucus threads observed in cultures with Dinophysis.

Harmful algae
The entrapment and death of the ciliate Mesodinium rubrum in the mucus threads in cultures with Dinophysis is described and quantified. Feeding experiments with different concentrations and predator-prey ratios of Dinophysis acuta, Dinophysis acumina...
