Soft robotics for farm to fork: applications in agriculture & farming
Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kai Christian Junge
Agricultural tasks and environments range from harsh field conditions with semi-structured produce or animals, through to post-processing tasks in food-processing environments. From farm to fork, the development and application of soft robotics offers a pl ...
Bristol2024Soft Robotics: A Route to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusivity in Robotics
Robotics is entering our daily lives. The discipline is increasingly crucial in fields such as agriculture, medicine, and rescue operations, impacting our food, health, and planet. At the same time, it is becoming evident that robotic research must embrace ...
Mary Ann Liebert, Inc2024Geospatial Tools and Remote Sensing Strategies for Timely Humanitarian Response: A Case Study on Drought Monitoring in Eswatini
This article explores the escalating impact of natural disasters, particularly droughts, in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), with a specific focus on Eswatini. Over the last century, approximately 63 million people in SADC countries have ...
Basel2024Electrospun zein incorporating phycocyanin and Spirulina extract: Fabrication, characterization, and potential application
Electrospinning was used to develop zein fibers containing phycocyanin and aqueous-ethanolic extract of Spirulina (AEES) for elucidating the potent packaging properties of phycocyanin and AEES on walnut samples. Morphological results revealed that using th ...
Amsterdam2023Industrial Biotechnology Conservation Processes: Similarities with Natural Long-Term Preservation of Biological Organisms
Corinne Scaletta, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Alexis Laurent
Cryopreservation and lyophilization processes are widely used for conservation purposes in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and food industries or in medical transplantation. Such processes deal with extremely low temperatures (e.g., -196 degrees C) a ...
MDPI2023The landscape of utopia: writings on everyday life, taste, democracy, and design
Lucia-Nieves Garcia de Jalon Oyarzun
This collection of essays, all authored and curated by Tim Waterman, foregrounds the entangled nature of utopia(nism), landscape (aka landship), design and imagination, where ‘everything is connected, everything is inseparable, everything can have differen ...
2023Directed evolution of nanosensors for the detection of mycotoxins
Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert, Alice Judith Gillen, Shang-Jung Wu, Afsaneh Taheri Telgari
In this study, we develop and apply a directed evolution approach to engineer the optical sensing properties of DNA-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes (DNA-SWCNTs) towards mycotoxins, a class of molecules critical to detect in the food industry. We suc ...
2023Non-contact robotic manipulation of floating objects: exploiting emergent limit cycles
Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Nana Obayashi
The study of non-contact manipulation in water, and the ability to robotically control floating objects has gained recent attention due to wide-ranging potential applications, including the analysis of plastic pollution in the oceans and the optimization o ...
Lausanne2023Revealing the Structure of Tryptophan in Microhydrated Complexes by Cold Ion Spectroscopy
Natalia Nagornova, Andrei Zviagin, Ruslan Yamaletdinov, Manuel Dömer
The geometry of biomolecules isolated in the gas phaseusuallydiffers substantially from their native structures in aqueous solution,which are the only ones truly relevant to life science. To connectthe high resolution of cold ion spectroscopy that can be a ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2023Influence of Different Sterilization Methods on the Surface Chemistry and Electrochemical Behavior of Biomedical Alloys
Sterilization is a prerequisite for biomedical devices before contacting the human body. It guarantees the lack of infection by eliminating microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, spores and fungi). It constitutes the last fabrication process of a biomedical devic ...
