Nature features some of the most sophisticated, yet elegant and long-lasting mechanosensory systems. The materials and morphological form of these natural systems have evolved to perfection in ...

Recent studies have led to the development of a material that can respond to its surroundings and adjust its temperature ...

Historic stone buildings and sculptures are a very valuable and important part of the cultural heritage of any country. However, due to the weathering of the stone materials, the further preservation ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the complex network of proteins and sugars that provides structural and biochemical support for surrounding cells in the human body. This dynamic ...

Designing better batteries isn’t just about squeezing in more power. It’s also about cutting costs, improving efficiency, and shrinking their environmental footprint. Yet despite decades of refinement ...

This biomimetic robot, powered by bacteria in water, can collect water temperature, pollution levels, biological and craft movement, and data as an element of the Ocean of Things—indefinitely. Why is ...

Normally, the immune system recognizes and eliminates abnormal cells. However, cancer cells can develop strategies to evade this control: they block defense mechanisms or send inhibitory signals. In ...

This study demonstrates that Type I receptor-like sensors in a robotic joint achieve sub-2° positional accuracy, redefining joint receptor functionality.
