Mussels and mucus team up for surgical glue that repels infections
Posted by ArielTechGeek 15 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
It’s hard to get glue to work underwater – unless you’re a mussel. Scientists have now created a new adhesive that combines the stickiness of mussel’s natural glue with the slimy, germ-repelling nature of mucus.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Adhesive, Glue, Underwater, Water, MIT, Freie Universität, Biomimicry

Octopus-inspired patches provide irritation-free adhesion to skin
Posted by ArielTechGeek 178 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Sensors such as electrocardiogram (EEG) electrodes can help save a person's life, but the adhesive patches used to attach them may also harm that person's skin. An experimental new medical patch addresses that issue by utilizing octopus-inspired suckers.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: KAUST, Skin, Biomimicry, Dressings
The world's first octopus-inspired superior sunscreen is on its way
Posted by ArielTechGeek 233 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A unique material inspired by a pigment in the skin of octopus, squid and cuttlefish has been harnessed to boost the skin-protecting active ingredients in sunscreen, as well as providing a shield against skin damage. And while it comes with all the benefits to humans, including antioxidant properties, it's harmless to the environment, which could revolutionize not just sun protection but skincare
Video: Slippery snail robot forgoes mucus for water to climb up walls
Posted by ArielTechGeek 303 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Snails are great at climbing vertical surfaces, even though they have just a single wet suction-cup foot. A new bio-inspired robot climbs walls by mimicking that simple yet effective mechanism, although thankfully it leaves a trail of water instead of mucus.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, TechnologyTags: University of Bristol, Biomimicry, locomotion
Octopus-inspired grasper gets it right by mimicking mucus
Posted by ArielTechGeek 329 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new octopus-sucker-inspired suction cup could make it much easier and more energy-efficient for robots to lift and release rough-surfaced objects. The secret lies in using water to mimic octopus mucus.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: University of Bristol, Biomimicry

Octopus-inspired ink can change color on demand
Posted by ArielTechGeek 662 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists have created a new light-activated ink that can change color on demand. It’s made up of microbeads of different colors that rise or sink in response to different wavelengths of light so that its surface appears as a specific color, which could be useful for new electronic displays or active camouflage systems.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Color, Colors, camouflage,
Inhalable powder designed to boost the lungs' virus-blocking mucus
Posted by ArielTechGeek 756 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
If there's one thing that the past few years have made us of aware of, it's the danger of respiratory viruses. An inhalable powder may one day help temporarily protect against them, by working with the natural layer of mucus in users' lungs.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: North Carolina State University, Hydrogels, Lung, Viruses and Bacteria, Coronavirus (COVID-19)
