Untethered micron-scale mobile robots can navigate and non-invasively perform specific
tasks inside unprecedented and hard-to-reach inner human body sites and inside enclosed …

Despite the wealth of knowledge gained about intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) since
their discovery, there are several aspects that remain unexplored and, hence, poorly …

Untethered mobile microrobots have the potential to leverage minimally invasive theranostic
functions precisely and efficiently in hard-to-reach, confined, and delicate inner body sites …

All epistemic agents physically consist of parts that must somehow comprise an integrated
cognitive self. Biological individuals consist of subunits (organs, cells, and molecular …

Each of us made the remarkable journey from mere matter to mind: starting life as a
quiescent oocyte (“just chemistry and physics”), and slowly, gradually, becoming an adult …

The concept of memory is traditionally associated with organisms possessing a nervous
system. However, even very simple organisms store information about past experiences to …

The question of whether single cells can learn led to much debate in the early 20th century.
The view prevailed that they were capable of non-associative learning but not of associative …

The applicability of computational models to the biological world is an active topic of debate.
We argue that a useful path forward results from abandoning hard boundaries between …

Navigational mechanisms have been characterized as servomechanisms. A navigational
servomechanism specifies a goal state to strive for. Discrepancies between the perceived …

Abstract Sensing, communication, navigation, decision-making, memory and learning are
key components in a standard cognitive tool-kit that enhance an animal's ability to …
