The softness and flexibility of soft robots would be greatly enhanced with more soft parts in their makeup. This paper presents an entirely soft valve that leverages the snap-through instability of an elastomeric dome for flow control. The geometric instability enables the dome to snap upward or...
Biochemical changes to the fungal-cell interface as a function of particle interactions were assessed using synchrotron macro ATR-FTIR microspectroscopy. Spatially specific information on the chemical composition of the cells was analysed to observe changes in biochemical makeup of the cells caused by th...
