Mechanical characterization of bone anchors used with a bone-attached, parallel robot for skull surgery.

Medical engineering & physics
Bone-attached robots and microstereotactic frames, intended for deep brain stimulation and minimally invasive cochlear implantation, typically attach to a patient's skull via bone anchors. A rigid and reliable link between such devices and the skull ...

Experimental demonstration of a second-order memristor and its ability to biorealistically implement synaptic plasticity.

Nano letters
Memristors have been extensively studied for data storage and low-power computation applications. In this study, we show that memristors offer more than simple resistance change. Specifically, the dynamic evolutions of internal state variables allow ...

Nanofiber-Based Biomimetic Platforms for Chronic Wound Healing: Recent Innovations and Future Directions.

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
BACKGROUND: Wound healing remains a significant challenge in healthcare, particularly for complex and chronic wounds where conventional treatments often fail to provide effective solutions. Recent advances in nanofiber technology have opened new aven...

Ultrasensitive Force-and-Wind Dual-Mode Biomimetic Sensor Based on Mimosa-Motivated Tb@HOF Photoexcited Foam for Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Human Health Monitoring.

Analytical chemistry
Nowadays, developing highly efficient and sensitive flexible optical biomimetic devices for the sensing of physical stimulus still has great challenges. Mimosa, as a sensitive plant, can respond to stimuli, such as touch force and wind blowing with l...

Artificial Axon with Dendritic-like Plasticity by Biomimetic Interface Engineering of Anisotropic Two-Dimensional Tellurium.

Nano letters
Spiking neural network (SNN) hardware relies on implicit assumptions that prioritize dendritic/synaptic learning above axon/synaptic concerns, compromising performances in signal capacity, accuracy, and compactness of SNN systems. Herein, we develop ...

Bio-inspired multimodal soft grippers: a review.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In nature, organisms have evolved diverse grasping mechanisms to perform vital functions such as hunting and self-defence. These time-tested biological structures, including the arms of octopuses and the trunks of elephants, offer valuable inspiratio...

Toward a living soft microrobot through optogenetic locomotion control of .

Science robotics
Learning from the locomotion of natural organisms is one of the most effective strategies for designing microrobots. However, the development of bioinspired microrobots is still challenging because of technical bottlenecks such as design and seamless...

Grasping with kirigami shells.

Science robotics
The ability to grab, hold, and manipulate objects is a vital and fundamental operation in biological and engineering systems. Here, we present a soft gripper using a simple material system that enables precise and rapid grasping, and can be miniaturi...

Dual high-stroke and high-work capacity artificial muscles inspired by DNA supercoiling.

Science robotics
Powering miniature robots using actuating materials that mimic skeletal muscle is attractive because conventional mechanical drive systems cannot be readily downsized. However, muscle is not the only mechanically active system in nature, and the thou...
