Sticky Solution Provides Grip for the First Robotic Pollinator
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chempr.2017.01.012 The first record of hand pollination was in a relief from an Assyrian dynasty, 800 BC, now preserved in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. In the relief, shown in Figure 1A, two winged deities gingerly fertilize a date palm tree by using a male flower. Nearly 3,000 years later, pollination has been automated. In this issue of Chem, Chechetka et al. de...

Selection favours single-celled mutants that stick together when a sugar needed for growth is in short supply, suggesting that multicellular life may have evolved as a by-product of selection for more efficient usage of resources.
متن کاملDry solution to a sticky problem
Sticking plasters revolutionized the protection of minor wounds, but they’re not ideal for fragile skin. A material that mimics the adhesive properties of certain beetles’ feet might provide a solution. Adhesives that stick to skin for long periods of time, or over multiple cycles of use, are vital for medical applications. Such materials have to conform to stringent standards — for example, th...
متن کاملSticky interconnect for solution-processed tandem solar cells.
Graphene oxide (GO) can be viewed as a two-dimensional, random diblock copolymer with distributed nanosize graphitic patches and highly oxidized domains, thus capable of guiding the assembly of other materials through both π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. Upon mixing GO and conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) in water, a dispersion with drama...
متن کاملA Robotic Walker that Provides Guidance
This paper describes a robotic walker designed as an assistive device for frail elderly people with cognitive impairment. Locomotion is most often the primary form of exercise for the elderly, and devices that provide mobility assistance are critical for the health and well being of such individuals. Previous work on walkers focused primarily on safety but offered little or no assistance with n...
