Morphological computation can be loosely defined as the exploitation of the shape, material
properties, and physical dynamics of a physical system to improve the efficiency of a …

Commercial lithium ion cells with different power: energy ratios were disassembled, to allow
the electrochemical performance of their electrodes to be evaluated. Tests on coin cell half …

Randomly moving but self-propelled agents, such as Escherichia coli bacteria, are expected
to fill a volume homogeneously. However, we show that when a population of bacteria is …

Cross-diffusion, the phenomenon in which a gradient in the concentration of one species
induces a flux of another chemical species, has generally been neglected in the study of …

Modern membranes are advanced technological products used in various fields of industry
and science, and they are one of the necessary prerequisites for the development of these …

Artificial single nanochannels have emerged as possible candidates for mimicking the
process of ionic transport in ion channels and boosting the development of bioinspired …

Application of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as delivery tools for self‐healing
coatings is limited by spontaneous leakage and specifically responsive release of small …

The discovery of ionic current rectification (ICR) phenomena in synthetic nanofluidic systems
elicits broad interest from interdisciplinary fields of chemistry, physics, materials science, and …

The generation of robust periodic movements of complex nonlinear robotic systems is
inherently difficult, especially, if parts of the robots are compliant. It has previously been …

Nature provides a wide range of self‐assembled structures from the nanoscale to the
macroscale. Under the right thermodynamic conditions and with the appropriate material …
