Scientists at the University of Akron and the University of Pittsburgh have overturned long-held assumptions in new research that finds water can be a help for adhesion. Dr. Ali Dhinojwala, ...

A new microfluidic technology that leverages immune cell behavior is set to transform cancer monitoring, thanks to researchers at UNIST. Led by Professor Joo Hun Kang in the Department of Biomedical ...

A research team discovers universal mechanism that leads to adhesion hysteresis in soft materials. Through a combination of experimental observations and simulations, the team demonstrated that ...

Soft robotics, which uses flexible and deformable materials, is an emerging field in autonomous systems. It has recently been applied to next-generation tasks such as deep-sea sampling with soft ...

Abstract Cancer progression involves cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), which facilitate the recruitment of leukocytes and metastatic tumor cells to ...

(A-C) The lamprey (Lethenteron reissneri) utilizes its oral disc—composed of a soft periphery and keratinized teeth—to firmly attach to rocks and hosts. (D) A CAD model of the bio-inspired disc, ...
