In nature, marine mussels (Mytilus edulis) suffer less fouling colonization on the newly formed sides of their shells. Using settlement assays with algal spores of Porphyra suborbiculata, we determined that spore attachment and germination on the periostracum decreased to 36.8 and 3.3 %, respectively. Additionally, the spore settlement was considerably diminished by periostracum dichloromethane...

From everyday life experience, we all know that during watering or rainfall, water rolls off the leaves of many plants in the form of spherical droplets leaving the leaves themselves entirely dry. This effect can be seen in an especially impressive manner on the leaves of the sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) and Tropaeolum (Tropaeolum majus). Interestingly, with the rolling off of water droplets...

Although droplet-based systems are used in a wide range of technologies, opportunities for systematically customizing their interface chemistries remain relatively unexplored. This article describes a new microfluidic strategy for rapidly tailoring emulsion droplet compositions and properties. The approach uses a simple platform for screening arrays of droplet-based microfluidic devices and cou...

Biomimetic Sensor Modeling and Simulations for Flight Control of a Micromechanical Flying Insect

Biomimetic Photomodulable Bactericidal Nanozyme Exploration of bactericidal nanozymes with simultaneously high biofilm penetration and bacterial capture capacities is crucial yet challenging for combating infections. In article number 2301694, Guang Liang, Fangyuan Li, Daishun Ling, co-workers report a biomimetic photomodulable nanozyme dually enhanced capacities. Notably, the catalytic activit...

Natural kingite-like aluminophosphate nanorolls were obtained by biomimetic synthesis using a mixed-organoamine template.

in the linear system ax = b the points x are sometimes constrained to lie in a given subspace s of column space of a. drazin inverse for any singular or nonsingular matrix, exist and is unique. in this paper, the singular consistent or inconsistent constrained linear systems are introduced and the effect of drazin inverse in solving such systems is investigated. constrained linear system arise ...
