Infrared actuation-induced simultaneous reconfiguration of surface color and morphology for soft robotics.

Scientific reports
Cephalopods, such as cuttlefish, demonstrate remarkable adaptability to the coloration and texture of their surroundings by modulating their skin color and surface morphology simultaneously, for the purpose of adaptive camouflage and signal communica...

Innovative material containing the natural product curcumin, with enhanced antimicrobial properties for active packaging.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
Curcumin (Curc) reacts with zinc di‑iodine (ZnI) in 2:1molar ratio in the presence of an excess of a base triethylamine ((CHCH)N) in methanol (CHOH) solution towards the amorphous solid material of formula [ZnI(Curc)] (1). The complex was characteriz...

Neuromorphic device architectures with global connectivity through electrolyte gating.

Nature communications
Information processing in the brain takes place in a network of neurons that are connected with each other by an immense number of synapses. At the same time, neurons are immersed in a common electrochemical environment, and global parameters such as...

Toward a new generation of electrically controllable hygromorphic soft actuators.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
An innovative processing strategy for fabricating soft structures that possess electric- and humidity-driven active/passive actuation capabilities along with touch- and humidity-sensing properties is reported. The intrinsically multifunctional materi...

Unveiling the systemic impact of airborne microplastics: Integrating breathomics and machine learning with dual-tissue transcriptomics.

Journal of hazardous materials
Airborne microplastics (MPs) pose significant respiratory and systemic health risks upon inhalation; however, current assessment methods remain inadequate. This study integrates breathomics and transcriptomics to establish a non-invasive approach for...

The Application of Anisotropically Collapsing Gels, Deep Learning, and Optical Microscopy for Chemical Characterization of Nanoparticles and Nanoplastics.

Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids
The surface chemistry of nanomaterials, particularly the density of functional groups, governs their behavior in applications such as bioanalysis, bioimaging, and environmental impact studies. Here, we report a precise method to quantify carboxyl gro...
