Magnetically actuated nanorod arrays as biomimetic cilia.
We present a procedure for producing high-aspect-ratio cantilevered micro- and nanorod arrays of a PDMS-ferrofluid composite material. The rods have been produced with diameters ranging from 200 nm to 1 mum and aspect ratios as high as 125. We demonstrate actuation of these superparamagnetic rod arrays with an externally applied magnetic field from a permanent magnet and compare this actuation ...
متن کاملBiological Isolating Mechanisms
Ernst Mayr's (1942) formulation of the biological species concept clarified a vexing question for evolutionary biologists: What is a species? Mayr's view of the species concept has widespread acceptance owing to its simplicity. Nevertheless, the manner in which species arise by the process of natural selection remains controversial. The problem is that the process of speciation takes a very lon...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Prototype Over-Actuated Biomimetic Prosthetic Hand
The loss of a hand can greatly affect quality of life. A prosthetic device that can mimic normal hand function is very important to physical and mental recuperation after hand amputation, but the currently available prosthetics do not fully meet the needs of the amputee community. Most prosthetic hands are not dexterous enough to grasp a variety of shaped objects, and those that are tend to be ...

Data Exclusivity for New Biological Entities
Congress is current considering legislation that would create a regulatory pathway for follow-on biologics. One critical issue in this regard is the issue of data exclusivity for innovators. This is an important form of intellectual property that complements patent protection. Data exclusivity is the period of time before a follow-on competitor can enter the market with an abbreviated filing th...
