Bacillus spores as building blocks for stimuli-responsive materials and nanogenerators.
Materials that respond mechanically to external chemical stimuli have applications in biomedical devices, adaptive architectural systems, robotics and energy harvesting. Inspired by biological systems, stimuli-responsive materials have been created that can oscillate, transport fluid, provide homeostasis and undergo complex changes in shape. However, the effectiveness of synthetic stimuli-respo...
متن کاملNanostructured materials with biomimetic recognition abilities for chemical sensing
Binding features found in biological systems can be implemented into man-made materials to design nanostructured artificial receptor matrices which are suitable, e.g., for chemical sensing applications. A range of different non-covalent interactions can be utilized based on the chemical properties of the respective analyte. One example is the formation of coordinative bonds between a polymeriza...
متن کاملEmerging applications of stimuli-responsive polymer materials.
Responsive polymer materials can adapt to surrounding environments, regulate transport of ions and molecules, change wettability and adhesion of different species on external stimuli, or convert chemical and biochemical signals into optical, electrical, thermal and mechanical signals, and vice versa. These materials are playing an increasingly important part in a diverse range of applications, ...
متن کاملBinets: Fundamental Building Blocks for Phylogenetic Networks
Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of evolutionary trees that are used by biologists to represent the evolution of organisms which have undergone reticulate evolution. Essentially, a phylogenetic network is a directed acyclic graph having a unique root in which the leaves are labelled by a given set of species. Recently, some approaches have been developed to construct phylogenetic netw...
متن کاملSuperatoms as Building Blocks of New Materials
During the last couple of decades or so, the subject of nanoscale science began expanding into a unique field of science that offered the prospect of tailoring the design of materials having chosen properties. Two potentially promising approaches were conceived, one involving a bottom up approach while the other a top down method. In both cases, approaching the desirable nanoscale size regime w...
