Programming mechanics in knitted materials, stitch by stitch Open
Knitting turns yarn, a 1D material, into a 2D fabric that is flexible, durable, and can be patterned to adopt a wide range of 3D geometries. Like other mechanical metamaterials, the elasticity of knitted fabrics is an emergent property of …

Second Harmonic Generation Imaging Reveals Entanglement of Collagen Fibers in the Elephant Trunk Skin Dermis Open
Form-function relationships often have tradeoffs: if a material is tough, it is often inflexible, and vice versa. This is particularly relevant for the elephant trunk, where the skin should be protective yet elastic. To investigate how thi…

A Year at the Forefront of Hydrostat Motion Open
Currently, in the field of interdisciplinary work in biology, there has been a significant push by the soft robotic community to understand the motion and maneuverability of hydrostats. This Review seeks to expand the muscular hydrostat hy…

Programming Mechanics in Knitted Materials, Stitch by Stitch Open
Knitting turns yarn, a 1D material, into a 2D fabric that is flexible, durable [1], and can be patterned to adopt a wide range of 3D geometries [2]. Like other mechanical metamaterials [3], the elasticity of knitted fabrics is an emergent …

Unique signatures of Population III stars in the global 21-cm signal Open
We investigate the effects of Population III stars on the sky-averaged 21-cm\nbackground radiation, which traces the collective emission from all sources of\nultraviolet and X-ray photons before reionization is complete. While UV photons\n…
