Aquatic organisms exhibit remarkable diversity in swimming strategies, even within shared modes such as body-caudal fin (BCF) propulsion. Here, we investigate the biomechanical underpinnings of BCF swimming by mapping performance trade-offs across a ...
Intestinal motility, including peristalsis and segmentation, drives complex fluid movements critical for the oral delivery of biologics and other macromolecules. Despite advances, oral delivery remains commercially limited by low bioavailability, oft...
The settling velocity of microplastics (MPs) is a critical parameter for understanding their migration and behavior in aquatic environments. Conventional methods typically focus on tracking individual MPs and often face significant challenges in capt...
Human activities impact aquatic ecosystems by altering abiotic and biotic factors, which in turn affect habitat structure and biodiversity. Environmental flows, or the necessary water flow levels to sustain ecosystems, influence fish habitats, with f...
Brains evolve within specific sensory and physical environments, yet neuroscience has traditionally focused on studying neural circuits in isolation. Understanding of their function requires integrative brain-body testing in realistic contexts. To in...
Achieving robust and energy-efficient navigation in unknown fluid environments remains a key challenge for bioinspired underwater robots. In this study, we develop a reinforcement learning-based control framework that enables a fish-like swimmer to a...
Ferrohydrodynamics of blood containing magnetic nanocarriers was carried out in this study to evaluate the influence of magnetic field on the nanocarrier drug delivery formulation, with the goal of improving spatial control and efficiency in advanced...
To investigate the impact of retinal fluid dynamics on visual outcomes in patients with treatment-naïve neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) treated in the real world over 5 years using approved AI-based fluid monitoring. Real-world da...
Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus brown seaweeds are rich in polyphenols, phlorotannins, proteins, and antioxidants, valuable in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. This study compares hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) and conventio...
Flying vertebrates use specialized wingbeat kinematics in hovering, takeoff, and landing, featuring ventrally anterior downstrokes and aerodynamically inactive upstrokes to enhance aerodynamic characteristics at low airspeeds. Rarely implemented in r...
